After 30 Years – Rock Hardware is Closing Down

After three decades of trading, Steve has made the decision to semi-retire and close the Rock Hardware retail store in Bendigo, Victoria. Last shop day open is Friday the 31st of October, online sales will remain until sold out.

Please note: All climbing gear has now been sold. Only a limited selection of industrial and outdoor equipment remains.

Everything listed on the website (in the coming days) is now being cleared below cost price. Be quick—these prices will not be repeated, and stock is very limited.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported Rock Hardware over the past 30 years. Your loyalty and support have meant the world.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Steve and he’ll do his best to help.

I’m excited to let you know that pre-orders are live for 17 Down Under, 10 years in the making. It’s a journey through Australia’s cliffs and climbing, filled with stories, photos, and routes that shaped our adventures.

We’re running the pre-order campaign on Pozible, a crowdfunding platform that helps creatives bring projects like this to life.

On Pozible, a “gift” means the book itself. You can support in three ways:

Donation — for anyone who’d simply like to support the project.

Book without postage — if you’ll collect in person.

Book with postage — shipped directly to you.

10 Days Left to Pre-Order!

We’re officially halfway to our funding goal which will go towards the cost of printing.
The book is now with the printer, and we’ll be receiving a proof in just a few weeks.

Thank you so much for being part of the community that inspired this book. Whether you climb, read, or just cheer us on, we’re so grateful for your support.
