Avalanches, altitude sickness, orcs and Justin Bieber — a Brisbane mountaineer is believed to have set a new world record on Mount Everest for charity, despite every obstacle thrown his way.

We only landed this sweet new model from a month ago and it has already become one of our most popular climbing shoes!

The new Skwama Lite is the perfect entry shoe to the Skwama range. Great for those wanting to step up from an entry model shoe of just for those wanting a great mid-aggressive model at a great price.

Perfect for the gyms but just as sweet outside 🤙

The brand new Skwama Lite just landed in men’s and women’s. Premium Italian made footwear for the intermediate to progressive climbers looking to refine their technique.

Super soft, comfortable and precise.

Look what just arrived! 😗
The 10 Year Anniversary Edition of the La Sportiva Skwama!

With a burst of creativity, the Skwama was meant to be a shoe designed for indoor climbing. However everyone quickly realised that it was so much more than that and in no time became the most adaptable, all-terrain climbing shoe ever made.

At Mountain Equipment it’s consistently been the most popular performance shoe year after year. Now it’s in purple and yellow… even better 😛

November is here, and with it comes one of the best times of year to explore the alpine beauty of Mt Buffalo and the surrounding ranges.

Mountain Equipment’s Ben Sanford joined Lucas Corroto for a quick hit of adventure. Swapping between rock, bike and trail as they climbed, ran, rode and soaked up some of the most stunning terrain Victoria has to offer.⁠

Cool mornings, long daylight hours, and a good amount of granite always makes for a good weekend 🤙

Inspired by the first light after a cold bivy, Lumina redefines the insulation-to-
weight ratio.
Introducing Lumina Series down Jackets – designed to provide unparalleled
warmth, lightweight comfort and supreme packability.

We’ve chosen to stock the ultralight Lumina 100. With a total weight of just 170grams it’s a jacket you’ll get plenty of use out of. Use it as a mid layer warmth booster in super cold conditions or on its own in cool conditions 😎👍

Packs down to next-to-nothing and weights about as much too.

Sometimes you forget just how lucky we are in Sydney to have so much awesome climbing so close! Even in the last few years there’s been so many new problems put up that it looks like there’ll be plenty to keep us all busy for quite some time.

Saying that though, it’s always good to revisit the classics 😉. Here’s Jas and Mim throwing another lap on Paratroopin at The Frontline that was put up by Rob Saunders in an era that really kick started the modern bouldering life in Sydney 🤙
