Climbing has always been at the core of our business and that’s why you’ll find the country’s best range of climbing hardware at Ellis Brigham. This season some iconic styles have been completely overhauled to give new levels of comfort and performance. From Black Diamond we get the awesome new Momentum and Primrose harnesses complete with TrakFIT leg adjustment system. Petzl have updated the classic Elios and Elia helmets with a sleek new fit and clever vent covers, plus they introduce the new Reverso 4 which is 25% lighter than its predecessor. Meanwhile the Beal Diablo UniCore and Edelrid Boa DuoTec show that rope technology is moving forward rapidly. These pages show just a selection of our climbing gear; visit a store near you or take a look at our website for the full extended range. The Climbing Academy Situated inside Ellis Brigham’s Covent Garden London store, the ice climbing wall runs through the shop’s two floors. At a height of 8m, Vertical Chill London brings the ice climbing experience to the nation’s capital. The ice climbing wall also runs through the two floors of Ellis Brigham, Deansgate, Manchester. Experts can refine their skills and those new to the sport can learn essential techniques. XScape Castleford features huge Utah inspired indoor rock climbing towers, plus an awesome aerial assault course, The Skyride. XScape Milton Keynes features 18m high Utah inspired rock climbing towers inside the Ellis Brigham outdoor shop. For further information and to book a session go to: www.vertical-chill.com
The Climbing Academy provides cutting edge bouldering facilities to Bristol and their mammoth site in Glasgow. TCA continues to set new standards in wall design, atmosphere and customer care, offering enjoyment and challenge to novice and pro alike. We’re pleased to sponsor the TCA Youth Squad on their busy programme of training and competitions. In 2011 TCA squad members helped the South West team finish second in the final round of the BMC Youth Climbing Series. Meanwhile Hamish Potokar and James Squire have been crushing hard problems including Brad Pit and Boy Racer (V11), setting the squad up for a successful 2012!
