Hey! Please take a second to think before buying cool climbing gear.
Don’t buy things you don’t need or can’t afford. Consider re-slinging cams and nuts, getting new dogbones sewn in for older quickdraws, resoling your shoes, or repairing tears and rips in jackets. Ask at local climbing stores or check the gear brand’s website or social media for services. Both REI and Patagonia sell used clothes, packs, and shoes in great condition.

When Is Black Friday?
Black Friday is officially on the 26th of November in 2021. It’s normally the first Friday after Thanksgiving in the USA. It started as many people were with family around the time and had a day off so would be able to shop – as well as spend Holiday money.
When Is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is the first Monday after Black Friday. This year it’s Monday 29th November. Cyber Monday climbing gear sales are really common and even more so in the last season. Retailers would prefer you buy online instead of being in store.
It started as a response to Black Friday where at the end of that month people would have had their payday as well as Holiday money and be at work browsing for things to spend it on.
Is It Worth Buying Climbing Gear On Black Friday / Cyber Monday?
As long as you aren’t spending money just to spend it – Yes! Getting a new rack for outdoor climbing can be incredibly expensive so Black Friday sales are a great way of picking up that gear that might save your life!
Climbing in winter can be harsh with the weather changes. Getting a good puffy or climbing pants at a knockdown price will save you money on something you’ll need – just at the right time.
You probably don’t need a new TV but you might need new climbing shoes you’ll actually use.
What Is A Good Deal For Black Friday + Cyber Monday?
A good deal is around 20% off- if not more. However, some gear will only ever get a small amount off. Popular items that sell well like grigri’s don’t often get any discount.
Check what the prices are at other stores first as some retailers bump up the normal price then apply a discount that ends up being no different to the RRP (recommended retail price).
30% off on climbing gear is great. Any more and you’re getting an amazing deal.
