24.01.2022 How good is this! Climbing Blind is an award winning documentary thatll be hitting the screens around Australia (excluding Victoria). It tells the inspirational story of Jesse Dufton, a blind rock climbing tackling Scotlands iconic "Old Man of Hoy". Check out the trailer and see if theres a session near you....

23.01.2022 Weve recently added a few high-performance beasts to our shoe range, with the SCARPA Booster and Furia S and the Evolv Phantom joining the mix! Which one have you got your eye on?

22.01.2022 Sore skin ending your session early? In climbing, the condition of your skin can be the difference between sending and going home empty handed. Make sure you're keeping yours in top shape! #climbpinnaclesports

21.01.2022 Happy to be delivering some long-awaited @metoliusclimbing boulder pads to some patient customers this week! Unfortunately, it's definitely a case of pads coming in, pads going out, as all except one of our shipment was allocated to pre-orders. We are expecting a shipment of @blackdiamond pads to arrive later this month, so keep an eye out for that! ... #climbpinnaclesports

21.01.2022 Got bouldering plans for the weekend but low on pads? Drop in and hire one of ours!

21.01.2022 When Pinnacle Ambassador Lucy Stirling fractured her sacrum in a ground fall a few months ago, she needed to cook up a way through the recovery process. In this blog post she details her Recipe to Recovery that took her from injury back to sending long-term projects again. https://www.pinnaclesports.com.au//lucy-stirlings-recipe-/ PS: since writing this blog, Lucy has gone on to tick another epic line "Evil Wears No Pants" (30) at Mt Coolum! Congrats Lucy!

18.01.2022 This incredible book has just made an appearance on our shelves and is filled to the brim with fantastic photography and stellar storytelling. A great addition to any coffee table!

18.01.2022 The Trango Extraordinary Climbing Vergo is one of our favourite belay devices at the moment. With an emphasis on ergonomics and no need to ever override the breaking mechanism, it is a safe and pleasant tool for belaying. The super smooth feeding is an added bonus! #climbpinnaclesports

18.01.2022 How good is this!? We're stoked to have been able to support this super fun event! Spookier than a long slab runout!

17.01.2022 We are very happy to welcome back long term Pinnacle Ambassador, Lucy Stirling ( @lucyclimbing ). "Lucy has been a member of the Pinnacle Sports Team since 2011and has since becomeone of the biggest names in the Australian climbing scene today. Shehas been climbing for as long as she can remember but began to really focus on the sport aspectduring high school. She drewon her background in gymnastics to help develop her skills as a climber and eventually she found herself... competing at a national level. During her first national competition, she realised that it was possible to compete at an international level and that has been her focusever since, with the ultimate dream being to represent Australia at the Olympics. She is well on her way to achieving this goal, having been crowned AustralianLead Climbing Champion in 2014 and 2016, Oceanic Lead Climbing Champion in 2013 and 2016, and representing Australia internationally in multipleWorld Cups."

13.01.2022 Welcoming aboard the Ambassador team, current Pinnacle instructor, Alex Mougenot "In 2013, Alex was riding his bike past Kangaroo Point for the first time and was in awe of the climbers there. After stopping to stare like a creep for a while, a random belayer turned around and asked him if he wanted a go... this was what sparked Alex's climbing journey. Over the next 3 years Alex went from bouldering barefoot in Toohey Forest with an old foam mattress, to embarking on big ...traditional climbing adventures in Tasmania. All the while through he's remained psyched on all aspects of climbing, whether it be scaling 400m cliffs or pebble-wrestling. Apart from furthering his own climbing, he enjoys sharing his knowledge and experiences with the kids in the Pinnacle Sports Kids Club, and relishes in the company of good friends. He strives to live by the mantra: "Wherever you are, be all there." #climbpinnaclesports #rockclimbing #pinnacleambassador

11.01.2022 Just got top ups on a bunch of Black Diamond gear, including helmets, harnesses, and shoes! Have you seen their new Vision helmet? #climbpinnaclesports

07.01.2022 Our sister company, Seima Safety, recently built this wall for Beyond Words Therapy Centre and we think it looks fantastic!

07.01.2022 Hands up if youve got a favourite belay biner! Carabiners like these are called "belay biners" because they are specifically designed for use with your belay device. The advantage of using them is that the captive eye part of the biner stops it from rotating around and cross-loading, keeping it in the strongest position possible! #climbpinnaclesports

06.01.2022 So you've heard about our Ambassadors, but who are people behind the scenes at Pinnacle Sports? First up in our 'Meet the Team' series is General Manager of Pinnacle Sports and Seima Safety, AJ. "You'd be hard pressed to find a climbing store or gym in Brisbane that AJ hasn't been involved with in some way. He's been climbing for two decades and has worked in a variety of roles within the industry, from sales staff to height access technician, to eventually taking over owners...hip of Pinnacle Sports in 2008. Since taking over Pinnacle Sports, AJ has pushed the business to new heights, establishing it as a premiere equipment, guiding, and inspection outlet. His passion for the business is fuelled by his love of climbing in general. Over the years he has climbed in many different locations, including China and New Zealand, and has played a role in establishing climbing areas closer to home. He still gets out for a climb when he can, but these days he is busy running around performing installations,inspections and maintenanceof climbing walls all over South-East Queensland." #climbpinnaclesports #teampinnaclesports #rockclimbing

05.01.2022 The @climbingtechnology Click Up is an assisted-braking tube belay device thats fantastic for single-pitch sport climbing!

04.01.2022 The Climbing meta Base Layer liquid chalk now comes in a larger, 250ml bottle! Our only complaint about this chalk was that it only came in 50ml bottles, so were super happy to see this larger size come out. Protip: use the larger bottle to refill your smaller one to save on waste, while keeping the convenience of a lightweight and clippable tube!... #climbpinnaclesports See more

04.01.2022 The Pinnacle crew had a fun day out on Saturday doing some team training - gotta keep those skills sharp! #climbpinnaclesports
