Joe Brown

 Welcome to The Joe Brown Shops
Joe Brown was considered the foremost rock climber and mountaineer of his generation, and perhaps the greatest all round mountaineer ever. You can read a biography of his climbing career if you click here.

In 1966 Joe opened the Llanberis shop with his wife Val. The Capel Curig shop opened a couple of years later and over the years the shops have earned the reputation of being among the best specialist climbing equipment and outdoor shops in the UK.

As an independent mountaineering and climbing equipment shop we specialize in providing honest and personal advice, as well great ranges of mountaineering, rock climbing, ice climbing, expedition and alpine climbing equipment. Visit our DMM Shop or Special Offers Shop for some amazing Climbing Equipment Deals and offers.
