About Us

Since 1981, we have been making state of the art lightweight climbing equipment and clothing for expedition, alpine, ice and rock climbers. We have personally field tested all our products on many of the hardest routes. We produce our gear "alpine style" by keeping our production runs small, we are able to constantly test new ideas with one thought in mind: making the best gear possible.

Our Light is right philosophy is now the gospel for modern climbers and we remain true to that philosophy, always striving to keep our products simple, durable and functional. As climbers we realize safety, performance and quality are the most important aspects of our products. Three decades of climbing experiences - elation, misery, epics and near misses go into the design of every piece of gear we make.

We're proud to be able to manufacture our products in the United States, especially with more and more companies shipping their production overseas to get the benefit of cheap labor. We pride ourselves in our quality and craftsman ship, and our fanatical attention to detail. We urge you to support domestic manufacturers. Our gear constantly reflects the dedication and commitment our staff has to producing quality gear and embracing the vision of Wild Things, past, present, and future.
