Gifts For Indoor Climbers: Small, Useful, Not Chalk

Indoor climbers are hard to buy for. They own a chalk bag, a pair of shoes that smell like a bin, and a gym pass. So what do you get them? I make gifts from retired climbing rope in a wee workshop in Aberdeen, and here is my honest list.

Gym ropes get retired too. Every one of these started life on a wall, held a climber, and was due to hit landfill. Now it is a gift with a story.

Small gifts that fit in a gym bag

Gym bags are full already. So think small. A climbing rope keychain clips onto the bag and never gets in the way. The hold keychain is a wee climbing hold shape, and it is a safe bet for anyone who lives at the wall.

Want something nicer? The recycled rope bracelet is made to their wrist size and sits fine under a watch. It is light, so it does not bug you on the wall.

What is a good gift for indoor climbers?

Something small, useful and a bit different. That is why I like climbing rope coasters for the climber who has the gear already. They sit on the desk at home, and no two match, because no two ropes did.

Got a bigger budget? A recycled climbing rope belt is made to their exact waist size, from 22 to 50 inches. It is built to outlast anything from a big-box store. It is a belt that came off a wall, and they can wear it back to the wall.

Not sure what they want?

Then do not guess. Browse the full gifts for climbers range, or send a digital gift card from £10. It lands in their inbox in minutes, so it works even if you leave it late.

Every quid goes to a real person, and a rope that was headed for the bin gets one more life. That is the whole idea. Less waste. More miles.

Stay classy and remember,
Make Waste Useful.
