13 Early Black Friday Deals That Are Surprisingly Awesome
We want you to spend your Black Friday climbing, not shopping—whether that’s picking your way up some just-in ice, grabbing jugs at the gym, or just climbing out of a food coma. To that end, we’ve rounded up some of the best Black Friday climbing deals out there so you can spend less time scrolling and more time sending (or trying to, anyway).
Most of the deals we’ve outlined are available at REI and Backcountry. REI’s early Black Friday deals can be found at its Holiday Sale, which runs through November 24 with up to 30% off. This will be it as far as deals this week from the retailer, since they close stores on Black Friday as part of their #OptOutside campaign. Backcountry has already launched into its Black Friday deals with up to 60% off and new deals added periodically. Individual brands like Black Diamond or Ocun may launch their sales a few days after the retailers of the bunch.
A couple Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping tips:
- Shop early. If you see some gear you want or sorely need, don’t wait. While the discounts may not go away, inventory may run out. Plus, REI will be ending its sale before Black Friday so if you see a deal there now, carpe deal.
- Be strategic on shoe sizing. Choose a deal on shoes from a brand you’ve worn before and know your size in. Alternatively, measure your foot and do a little deep dive on the brand’s sizing charts. Also check the comments regarding whether the shoes run large or small. If you can, hop over to a brick and mortar REI and try them on in person. Worse comes to worst, you can always resell them
If you don’t see any deals here that strike your fancy, check back as we’ll be making updates and adding new Black Friday climbing deals periodically, including on Cyber Monday.
