AustriaAlpin (Who?)

Rock + Run are the only suppliers of AustriaAlpin equipment in the UK. Because we are able to place large orders direct with AustriaAlpin we are can cut out the usual UK agent/distributor stage of the supply chain and consequently offer high quality products at an unbeatable price.



The only down side is that most UK climbers and mountaineers are not familiar with AustriaAlpin as a brand or manufacturer which understandably makes them a little cautious before making a purchase of life dependant equipment.

Well, I’ll bet most people have heard of Stubai (those of us over 40). Stubai were one of the very first manufacturers of ice axes and crampons and it was from this old and respected company that Austria Alpin evolved.






In 1996 some of the original producers of the Stubai Werkzeugindustrie decided to found their own company called AustriaAlpin They wanted to realise their own ideas and offer higher quality products, excellent customer service and innovative products according to UIAA and CE standards.








In January 2003 the AustriAlpin Team was founded. Well known athletes in climbing and paragliding such as Beat Kammerlander, Gundi Kraft or Markus Gründhammer joined the Team together with enthusiastic insiders who share their practical and technical knowledge.

Today AustriaAlpin continues to innovate and develop new products. You may also be surprised that they manufacture karabiners for some well know British climbing brands!
