Two night time climbers wearing headtorches

Lights for climbers

By Kenny Stocker

In the world of climbing every gram matters and reliability can be a safety issue. This is amplified when darkness falls. To keep operating with a good margin of safety you need innovative, dependable, and sustainable lighting solutions.

Our range of headtorches is designed with an understanding of the unique challenges climbers face. Headlamps, developed with input from experienced climbers, strike a perfect balance between brightness, beam pattern, and battery life. Climbing often requires both close-up illumination for route-finding and gear management, as well as long-distance lighting for spotting anchors or assessing the terrain ahead. For this reason, our headlamps feature multiple lighting modes, enabling you to easily switch between flood and spot beams.

A standout feature is the red light mode, which preserves night vision—a critical need for early alpine starts or multi-day big wall climbs. The intuitive controls are designed to be easily operated with gloved hands.

When you get off the wall it is time to relax, but not let down your guard. We know that you are going to be somewhere remote, you are going to have to carry in everything you need, so to illuminate your basecamp, we provide solutions tailored to the minimalist and weight-conscious needs of climbers. Our ultralight, collapsible lanterns offer ample illumination for base camps or bivouac sites without adding significant weight to your pack. Many lanterns include built-in hooks or loops, allowing you to hang them in tents or from branches.

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. With repair stations in our stores we offer a robust repair service, encouraging you to fix rather than replace your gear, reducing waste and extending the lifespan of your products. This approach benefits the environment and aligns with the ethos of many climbers who, like us, value durability and a minimal environmental footprint.

Whether you are climbing alpine style through the night, night bouldering, sitting out a storm in a bivvy, lighting up for the final abseil of your multi-pitch climb or enjoying a post climb meal we have a lighting range tailored to your climbing needs.
