Scarpa

Since we opened TCA Glasgow, we've been working with Scarpa for our hire shoes and shop stock. We're excited at this development as we believe they're at the cutting edge of climbing shoe design, with really high quality products right across their range. Our on site Glasgow shop offers an extensive range of Scarpa's shoes to come and try before you buy. Over the coming 12 months we'll be giving away Scarpa shoes as prizes in comps and there will also be the chance to test their range more rigorously at shoe demos.

Core Climbing

Core Climbing is committed to taking hold design to the next level. Formed by three climbers, Core is based near the Peak district and all the holds are manufactured in the new Chesterfield factory. Capturing the essence of different venues and rock types, Core holds bring the outdoors onto your climbing wall.

DMM

DMM has nearly three decades of experience in making fine quality climbing equipment and they still manufacture all their hardwear in their factory in Llanberis at the foot of Snowdon. It has taken continuous hardwork combined with constant investment in new technologies for DMM to achieve its position as a world leader in the design and production of climbing and mountaineering hardware. 

Beta Climbing Designs

Beta Climbing Designs supply a number of the most popular products in the TCA shop including finger tape and Climb On to help you keep climbing for as long as possible.
