In many areas of the world, climbing gear is not just prohibitively expensive—it’s often not available for purchase in-country at all. For thousands of climbers around the world, the challenge of procuring gear and replacing it as it ages is an enormous logistical and financial barrier to enjoying this sport and using it for positive economic, social, and environmental impact. At The Global Climbing Initiative, we are working to change that by building the world’s largest and most inclusive gear distribution program.
Currently, we have two initiatives in place to increase access to climbing industry gear and infrastructure. Click the photos below to learn more.
