To celebrate the launch of our new climbing clothing collection we’re running a summer long photo competition, we want you to share your climbing photos with us. 

Whether it’s trad, sport, bouldering, alpine, big wall or the climbing wall, we want to see it all!

To enter all you need to do is share your climbing photos to our live feed using #MEclimbing via Instagram*, Pinterest and Twitter or upload them via the MEclimbing Facebook page.
