If you need anything at all to do with rock climbing or mountaineering, Pinnacle is the place to…read morego. Information, instruction, equipment, perhaps an expedition to Mt Everest, they have it all. The guys at Pinnacle have years of experience climbing and trekking and are keen to share their love of climbing with anyone who walks in the door. Their rock climbing courses are great for beginners and more advanced climbers wanting to develop their skills. They do them down at Kangaroo Point, Brisbane's famed outdoor rockclimbing cliffs and they start from around $300 for a six-week course. The best thing about the courses is that everyone who does one is able to come along to the free social climbing events Pinnacle puts on every week, usually down at the cliffs. They're great for keeping up your climbing skills and meeting other people with a love of climbing. They also have all the equipment you could ever need for climbing and trekking and the expertise to help you put together your own kit.

Gosh. It's big…read more Massive store, full of Stuff. Plenty of camping and fishing gear, including clothing. Lots of tents set up with mattresses and the like inside too, so you can have a lie down and check out how it feels, or, if you're tall, find out if you have to crouch in the tent or not. They sell bicycles too, and have a bicycle service centre. Canoes and associated paraphernalia.. really, if you can do it outdoors, you'll probably find the gear you're after here. Even rock climbing gear; which is fortuitous seeing as they have a rock climbing wall in the store too. They have special members prices if you sign up, which can save you a bit of cash, and quite often some great sales too, so if you're not in a hurry for the gear, you can wait until it gets a nice chunky discount.

I would not even give these guys 1 star. Customer service is non-existent. Being brand new to…read moreclimbing I decided to go to the nearest real climbing shop, where I should receive expert advice. I spent time with an assistant, who sized me and sold me a fantastic shoe. I pointed out at the time that I found the shoes tight and painful to wear and was told they would give and become more comfortable, I just needed to wear them in. Over the next 2 weeks I wore them a couple of times at my climbing gym, but found them more crippling the more I wore them. I took them back to the shop and was resized by another expert, who recommended a full size and a half bigger but had no authority to replace the shoes for me. The following two weeks I was led on a journey of discontent and frustration by the owner of K2 who wanted a post mortem to understand what went wrong. This resulted in me being invited to spend more of my personal time in the store only to be insulted, accused of lying and intimidated before being offered, his final conclusion of me purchasing a second pair of identical shoes from K2 in the appropriate size. He also suggested to recoup the cost of the original pair I should sell the ill fitting shoes in the newspaper. In conclusion, avoid K2 at all costs- there are plenty of alternatives close by.

I am a HUGE fan of shopping for the man friend. I'm also a huge fan of this chino, plain T-shirt…read moreand boat shoe combination which has taken over the young men of Brisbane. These two elements combined makes Angus Black a great place for me to pursue my weird interest in men's clothes. With brands such as Nudie, Bassike, Saint Augustine Academy and Vanishing Elephant, it's no wonder the sexy young men of Brisbane keep their eye on Angus Black. The store is a fantastic space. Simple and clean lined, exactly like the clothes stocked. A pre-warning though boys- you would want to save those pretty pennies before making a trip to Angus Black because the clothes are irresistible, yet a little on the expensive side. The pieces are of such high quality though, that shopping there would be more of an investment in your wardrobe than a frivolous spending spree.

It's a friendly little store, expect to be greeted kindly on your way in with a hello and a smile, the sales girl was a model-esque creature floating gracefully around the store who helped us pick out a present for a friend of mine. After kindly rejecting the three $150 t shirts she suggested we decided to go elsewhere but not without promising to come back again later as soon as we had the money. This place would get 5 stars but I'm still too depressed at the look of my bank account after going back and purchasing a pair of jeans.
