First Ascent

At Peak Friction we are very pleased to be working with First Ascent and their amazing brand portfolio, offering Sales Agency support to their customer base across the UK.

With over 25 years’ experience in the outdoor industry, First Ascent has always been a leader in bringing innovative, technical brands to the UK market.  

From our base in Matlock, Derbyshire - on the edge of the Peak District National Park - all our staff (scroll down to see who's who) have the opportunity to use and evaluate the equipment we sell.  From climbing harnesses to approach shoes, solar lights to sleeping-bag liners, you can be sure it’s been rigorously tried, tested and approved.   

As we move forward in a fast-changing global marketplace, First Ascent remains committed to providing personal service and expert advice, bringing enthusiasts and brands together to enjoy the great outdoors.
