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.

At 48g/m it is actually the thinnest and lightest single rope on the market. The Thermo Fluid treatment stabilises the strands so the rope has a compact weave with a supple feel and the Dry Cover reduces water absorption and dirt ingress to increase its life span and keep the weight down in wet conditions. The Opera is made with a Unicore construction which bonds the sheath to the core, in the event of the rope being cut this means that the sheath will not slip.Features:
Technical information
Possibly THE most important part of your climbing arsenal but let’s face it buying a rope is a pretty meaty investment for all of us. Why? Because things have come on a bit since Joe Brown headed out to the Peak District crags with his Mum’s old washing line – these days there’s an incredible amount of science and technology in your rope designed to absorb shock, repel water, reduce abrasion with some even tested specifically to retain strength if your rope runs over a sharp edge. But there are so many! Here’s how to choose the one that will work best for you…..
In addition to all this are the tests and ratings – like we said a HUGE amount of science goes into ropes to make them safe. As long as the rope carries a CE/UKCA & UIAA marking you can be sure it has been made to a minimum level but you also have a responsibility to understand what you are buying and how to use a rope safely as part of a climbing system. Our sales team can help explain these more when you come into the shop – it’s way easier than endless scrolling online. It saves time too so you can get out on the crags and enjoy more climbing!
