Alpkit has built a solid reputation for high quality and innovative own-brand products that represent fantastic value. These values remain at the heart of their decision to distribute Fixe Roca ropes and Alien Cams and there is a real synergy between the brands.

Alpkit: "Back in November, we were all giddy and buzzing with excitement over the new Roca ropes we had just got in. We all had a favourite; there were a few squabbles about which one we liked best (Rainbow Rope, obviously), but most of all we were all itching to have a play on them."

Our sponsored athletes often get first dibs, and Ramon Marin certainly did not disappoint with his monumentally awe-inspiring send of Steel Koan, M13+, Canada’s hardest mixed climb and has been spending the summer touring the UK ticking off some prime routes using the Roca Ropes, Fixe quickdraws and Alien cams. 

To fully kit out quick and light alpine ascents we introduced ice axes. Plus spiffy ice screws with funky coloured handles and reverse threading for wide dispersion. Keep your eyes peeled for more as we move back towards the winter season later in the year. 

And now we have even more! We have an enthusiastic climbing coterie here at Alpkit, from hard-core boulderers, regular Scottish winter climbers, competition climbers and sun-searching sport climbers- so you can imagine our glee at the humongous box from Roca that arrived. 

From this range we have put together the best bits to create a  a Via Ferrata Kit, including thnew Fixe Via Ferratum set, the Climber-On helmet and Magic Verso Harness - we have used the harness in our Climbing Harness bundle along with a HMS locking carabiner, Miku belay device, chalk bag and chalk all for only £50.

So in recent months, we have gradually been expanding our range of Fixe/ Roca equipment. As the exclusive UK distributor for Fixe/ Roca, we are making the most in indulging in everything their range has to offer, including of course the Aliens. 

The benchmark by which all other cams – standard and offset – have been judged, the original Alien has been updated to provide a more flexible, stronger and lighter camming device: the Alien Evolution. The head profile of the original Alien has also been reduced by 20% which means the Alien Evolution can be placed in a wider range of cracks and features a riveted axle as well as increased friction and holding power. The trigger design and dyneema sling have also been improved. As an introductory offer you can buy a Full set of Alien Evolution Cams for only £250 essentially getting one free!

Manufactured by Fixe hardware – a small climbing hardware business established by climbers for climbers – following the sale of Alien Cams by the widow of David Waggoner, the legendary cams are now manufactured in Barcelona using the original factory machinery shipped from the US.

Carabiners, quickdraws and belay devices. Slings. Harnesses. Fixe have been industry leaders in protecting crags and outfitting climbing walls around the world and we've introduced an extensive range of bolting and belay chains from their collection."

To celebrate the extensive range, new ropes and equipment from Fixe we are offering 10% off all climbing gear (not including bouldering mats) throughout August with the discount code AUGCLIMB10.
