Equipment hire and equipment for courses

All Tiso Outdoor Experience stores are able to supply the following equipment for hire: boots, crampons, ice axes, and helmets. The cost of hire is in addition to the cost of the course.

It is essential you book your equipment hire at you’re earliest opportunity to ensure you receive the right kit in the correct size. Better still we recommend making a boot fitting appointment as soon as possible after booking your course. Tiso can not guarantee the availability of the correct size or hire equipment at short notice. Please check the course equipment list thoroughly before attending any course.

If unsure about equipment requirements please contact the customer service desk at the appropriate Tiso store or contact Stuart Johnston at Climbmts on 01887 822 699.
