I got some ropes last year from Dicks in Bristol. A good discount if you order enough.
And another thumbs up for V12 in Llanberis, popped in over the Christmas break and very pleased with the service there. Very knowledgable staff I thought.
Another shout out to dicks especially for rope. Other than that epictv has amazing prices, and even decathlon for things like a grigri where you can't beat it's price.
Bought online from Joe Browns/Climbers Shop in the pre-Christmas sale. Order came one karabiner short, but another was sent out no problem. Good service!
I know Needlesports are an independent and very good customer service online and in shop. What other small, independent shops offer an online outlet and OK prices (doesn't have to be the cheapest)?
How about Joe Brown's/Climbers Shop? Rock and Run?
Run of the mill stuff, GO Outdoors or Decathlon, because they are somewhere I can get to easily. When I needed more specialist help for rock shoes I went to V12. I got walking boots and ski wear in Anything Technical in Kendal.
