With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Authors Pete Harrison and Andy Boorman, with publishers, OnSight, have produced this definitive Guide to North Wales Limestone, with with all profits going to the bolt fund to support ongoing route maintenance.
The North Wales Limestone area is a uniquely varied place to climb: there can be few other venues in the UK with such a diverse range of climbing styles co-existing side-by-side within such a concentrated area. From single pitch trad cragging to font 8B bouldering, remote multi-pitch sea cliff adventures on loose guano-covered rock to French 8c’s on immaculate well-equipped sport crags, ‘designer-danger’ hybrid routes to easy access entry-level grade 4 and 5 sport climbs - all of these exist within walking distance on The Great and Little Ormes, sometimes on the same crag!
The nature of the terrain here dictates that routes often rely on fixed equipment to be climbable and the ethic of bolting on NW limestone is open-minded and practical - this is just as true for the great trad climbing as it is the sport routes. Thousands of non-stainless bolts were placed on sport and trad routes during the 80s and 90s.
However, the marine environment isn’t kind to any non-stainless equipment and, unfortunately, the bolts and pegs placed back then have become dangerous liabilities. Most of the cliffs here are coastal, routes are often at sea-level or not far above.
