Why buy from Rock Hardware?

You're buying more than just a product

I'm Steve Morris, founder of Rock Hardware. I can give you sound advice about the best equipment for you and what you need, based on decades of experience. I am a multi-pitch guide with the Australian Climbing Instructors Association (ACIA), have been an active Height Safety and Rescue Trainer in wind farms for the past 12 years and I regularly give talks about climbing to climbing clubs and social groups. I am also the co-author, with my son John Morris, of 17 Down Under: A celebration of moderate grade rock climbing in Victoria.

We use what we sell

All retail decisions are based on first-hand experience in the field and feedback from reliable sources in the industry. We only sell products we would happily use ourselves.

We stand by our reputation

Rock Hardware is a family-run business, established in 1995. We have forged a solid reputation amongst our peers for more than 23 years, welcoming everyone like a friend. We stand by the products we sell and are committed to the strength and sustainability of the rock climbing community.

In 2016, my son John and I were the subjects of the Sydney Morning Herald/The Age "The Two of Us" section. You can read our story here.

You'll get your items quickly and securely

We endeavour to ship within 24 hours of receiving an order (excluding weekends when I am usually off climbing). The majority of parcels are freighted in Express Post satchels and all parcels include tracking.
