📸🏆December’s Frame & Glory Photo Comp & Prize Giveaway! We're feeling festive! 🎄🎁

Mariah Carey has thawed out. Bertie is crawling around the attic looking for PAT tested fairy lights. Rich no longer needs an excuse to day drink. Jack is growing out a big bushy beard.

This one is sponsored by , so it is a biggy!

How it works:
At the start of each month, we will provide a shortlist of problems, routes, scrambles and summits along with two prize bundles up for grabs.
Each would-be contestant must FOLLOW us, POST a photo of themselves meeting the route criteria, and TAG us and our sponsors in the picture (not caption)
On the last day of the month we will declare our winners!
The overall winner will be selected by the V12 staff and receive the grand prize alongside a V12 Frame & Glory Winner’s tee (limited edition, never for sale, rarer than hen’s teeth)
The runner-up, or People’s Champ, will be the picture that receives the most votes on our story and will receive a curated prize bundle and, of course, a Comp Winner’s tee.

Important to remember:
You need only post yourself on any one of the shortlisted options.
The contestant is the climber in the photograph and not the photographer. You must post yourself to be entered; whether it be selfie, tripod or a willing third party behind the lens.
The people’s champ is determined via engagement on our repost so having 20,000 friends liking your OG post won’t help.
Be respectful of the locations we are asking you to visit.
Be sensible. We are not condoning you take adverse risks for the perfect shot and will not be looking favourably on photos that do.

December’s prize breakdown:
Staff Choice; Dragon Cam 2-4 Pack and Comp Winner’s Tee
People’s Champ; DMM Accessory Bundle and Comp Winner’s Tee

Good luck and if these routes don’t take your fancy, maybe next month’s will!

North Wales is on form this morning!

Winter is coming! ❄️

What is a B2 boot? And why do you need one?

A B2 boot is a stiff soled boot designed for mountaineering and alpinism and use with semi-automatic crampons.

So a bit stiffer and warmer than your standard walking boot and ideal for UK winter days and summer alpine.

Here at V12 we have a good range for you to try on in store in a full range of sizes!

From lightweight + flexible with the La Sportiva Aequilbrium, solid contender the Salewa Rapace, La Sportiva Trango Alpine and Pro for optimum rock scrambling performance and the Scarpa Manta Tech for extra warmth and stiffness for proper winter days 🥶

Come on in and have your own Cinderella moment! 👠

Wet autumn weather means plenty of indoor evenings. 🌧️ Two new books for you to get your teeth into 📖!
