Important Supplier Note

This site was first built to help parents to locate difficult to source information about UK-based suppliers of children's climbing gear, so it is a useful resource that will increase traffic to your web site. This site does not generate any revenue and I am not being paid to provide this resource. If you are one of the linked suppliers and do not wish to be included, please contact me and I will remove you from the listings. The images were taken from various supplier web sites. If you are unhappy about my including one of your images on this site, please contact me and I will remove it.

IMPORTANT NEWS! All companies with links to their sites from the Kidsclimbing pages please note - although we don't charge for a link, it would be appreciated if you donate to my current charity the Children's Trust by using the link in the left hand menu on a regular basis. After all you're getting free advertising and they would benefit greatly from any donation.

When Paul Kellagher, one of our parent visitors had a problem with an order recently, Walkhigh Mountaineering quickly resolved it for him, and generously donated £10 to our current charity. Thanks Walkhigh!

Mountain weather reports added on 26 June 10.

I came across this useful link recently to the UK Children's Directory - it's a comprehensive web directory of children's activities and services throughout the UK.

Any parents⁄carers who have second hand⁄outgrown climbing/walking boots please contact me and I'll post it up on the noticeboard.

If you've got any comments or questions about this site or you can write a review of any of the gear, please contact me.
