Classic Vintage Climbing Gear

We specialize in offering an extraordinary collection of hard-to-find vintage mountaineering equipment that harks back to the golden age of exploration. Our curated selection encompasses a diverse array of meticulously sourced items, each with its own rich history and unique character.

Step into the world of yesteryear with our antique wood ice axes, crafted with the skilled precision of artisans from a bygone era. These timeless pieces not only serve as functional tools but also stand as tangible artifacts of mountaineering heritage, evoking tales of daring ascents and rugged landscapes.

Discover a range of vintage glacier goggles, designed to protect mountaineers' eyes from the harsh glare of icy peaks. Each pair carries the marks of its past adventures, offering a glimpse into the challenges faced by climbers of old.

For those seeking to add a touch of authenticity to their climbing arsenal, our collection includes classic pitons and vintage crampons, essential tools that have stood the test of time. Whether displayed as a tribute to mountaineering history or utilized in modern-day expeditions, these relics of the past carry with them a sense of adventure and exploration.

No vintage climbing kit would be complete without a piton hammer, the indispensable tool used to drive pitons into rock surfaces and each bearing the marks of countless climbs and offering a connection to the pioneers of mountaineering.

We also feature a selection of unique backpacks that blend functionality with timeless style. Whether used for their original purpose or repurposed as a striking display piece, these vintage packs are sure to turn heads wherever your adventures take you.
