Stocking fillers

Hate to remind you but Christmas is rapidly approaching ...

We've got the usual stocking fillers; tubs of ClimbOn, bags of chalk, maybe a new chalk bag or a 30m indoor rope, but also a few more unusual ideas...

DMM Demons from £33 a unit! DMM Demon cams combine the DMM 4CU's single axle head and the Dragon's single stem, with thumb press and extendable sling. These will be appreciated by the Trad climber in your life, feeling generous, there are discounted multipacks:

Just the one - any size £36

Pack of three - sizes 1, 2 and 3 £100

Pack of five - sizes 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 £165

Looking for something different we've got Pinch Hold Mugs (£22.95), allowing for simultaneous rehydration and training. Perfect pressies for the climbers, for post climbing drinking games or maybe even as a genuine training aid… 

(n.b. it should be noted that the warning on the box which we'll reiterate here reads, ‘This mug is to be used for cold drinks only’)

From all of us at Dick's Climbing, have a fantastic festive period and see you at Avon Gorge on the dry days!
