While most gloves are designed to be warm, waterproof and hardwearing, there is another important requirement that many users would benefit from – and that is a good grip. The Rab Latok Glove is special in that it has a silicone print on the palm that is incredibly sticky, which makes gripping rock when scrambling, trekking poles or ice axes ...

Edelrid Swing 2011

£90.00

Substantially built 10 point crampons with some excellent features, the Edelrid Swing is a good all-round option that should give many years’ service.

Edelrid Gladius Pro 2011

£110.00

The reverse curved pick alludes to the technical nature of the Edelrid Gladius Pro, but don’t be deceived, for although it is very handy on steep ice and mixed ground it is just as able on the gentler slopes. There is sufficient clearance with the pick to allow a self arrest, and the shaft is not too curved that it ...
