We have some tough news to share. Due to ongoing tariffs, we’ll be discontinuing retail sales in the United States.
This isn’t a decision we wanted to make. The U.S. climbing community has been an important part of our journey for decades, and we’re deeply grateful for every climber who has supported us, trusted our gear, and brought us along on their adventures.
While we won’t be able to continue retail sales in the U.S., our mission to support climbers everywhere remains unchanged. We’ll keep pushing forward, finding ways to connect and contribute to the community we love.
That said, our commercial gym padding installations in the U.S. will continue as normal. Our commitment to creating safe, high-quality climbing spaces remains unchanged, and we’re proud to keep supporting climbing gyms and their communities across the country.
Thank you for being with us through this chapter—it means more than words can say.
We will keep everyone updated if things change. Thank you again 💛
Your next send starts here! 👊🏼

Squamish granite is world-class… and also world-class sharp, tall, and reachy. Finding quality kid-friendly problems here isn’t always easy,but they do exist! Here are a few go-tos that my boys love:
•Detached flake v1
•Twister V1
•Stu’s Dyke V0
•Shade Dyke V0
•Fast and Hard V0+
•Squamish Days Traverse V2
•Fried Ant V0+
•The Alligator V0+
•Blasted Face V0-
•Dyke Surfer V0
•Any Rock’ll Do V1
It’s all about finding lowball gems with good landings and fun movement, and letting the kids define what a “send” looks like 💪

First time in Index and happy to find a boulder that fit me well that went down quickly. I am now a strong believer that condis are not a mindset💨 Thanks to the crew for the support!

Gentlemen V6
Absolutely psyched to put down this notorious Pebble Beach problem! Gentlemen has been in my sights for years but with other problems taking priority and without a good heel hooking shoe I have never put more than a couple of half-hearted burns into it. 2026 was finally the year to dedicate my pebble season to putting this thing down and I am happy to say that with a trustworthy shoe and 3 solid sessions I sent with plenty of margin. I honestly was expecting a repeat of last year’s epic battle on Right of Bass so putting down Gentlemen so quickly is boding very well for my season to come.

Upper Gold Mine
Putting 👀 on some classics that have gone unrepeated through the years in this new series of short shorts!
Bring on the power! Sequence through the improbably delicate sidepull slopers to tackle a compression beast. Requiring full tension and a precise blind heel hook for the first crux move. Keep it together through the double bump and tackle the second crux! The hand flip on the sharp arete. Meet your maker with few hold or foot choices on the vertical face except the arete. Overbalance and your out and don’t call it done until you are standing on the top.
This line has gotten looked over for years despite it being close to every other classic. Maybe it’s the height, maybe it’s because it hardly looks like a rock climb without chalk. But whatever it is, even the stand start (proposed v10 probably soft) hasn’t seen a second ascent either.
One from the summer. I avoided this cave for years because the walk was daunting but it was well worth it. This was my favourite of the lines. Invincible, Porteau Cove.
