Climbing started out simple enough: rock, sky, summit fever and a group of favorite friends. These early climbers made gear from whatever they could find... machine nuts, stovelegs and even clothesline, claim a few of them.
It didn't take long for the sharing of ideas and techniques to lead to companies being formed and eventually, an entire industry sprang to life. These days, amazing, modern equipment is available from, literally, hundreds of companies and hard climbing is more achievable and safer than many of those original pioneers ever imagined.
But with the maturity of the climbing industry comes the potential loss of community and that simple sense of touching rock and hanging with your friends. It becomes too easy for companies to forget about what it was that started the whole thing in the first place! This is a shame, too, because our business is about more than just the bottom line and racing to beat our competitors. We remember what made this industry special and there are other companies who do, too.
Below is a list of our friends in the industry who make awesome gear and we, at Omega Pacific, want to pass along their links to you so that you can get everything you need so you can stay focused on the rock, sky and reaching the top.
