Climbing Hardware

Explore climbing hardware and protection at Alpine Equipment Company to build, organise or refresh your climbing rack. Whether you’re preparing for trad routes, sport climbing or multi-pitch days, compare the equipment below and choose the pieces that suit your climbing plans.

Choose hardware for your climbing style

Your choice of climbing equipment depends on the routes you climb and the kit you already use. When comparing hardware, consider its intended use, weight, dimensions and handling, alongside the manufacturer’s specifications. For trad climbing, think about the range of protection your rack needs. For sport climbing, consider the equipment required for your chosen routes.

Building and maintaining your rack

A useful addition to your rack should work with the rest of your equipment, rather than simply adding more weight. Compare individual product details to understand each item’s features and intended applications. Nut tools, for example, offer different profiles and features for retrieving protection, with lightweight designs suited to long days and specialised designs for particular uses.
