1Climb Partnership
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a passion you want to share with the world. Kevin Jorgensen has a dream to introduce 100,000 kids to the rewards of climbing.
Hive Bouldering Gym - Vancouver, BC
This is a video during the construction of our 2nd project with Andrew and the team at The Hive Bouldering Gym in Vancouver, British Columbia.
UIAA World Cup Ice Climbing Wall
To pull this off, we had to create an entirely new climbing wall system that could be installed in less than three days and removed in a single day. The result was astounding.
Over the two-day competition, more than 24,000 spectators attended, with 10,000 watching the lead finals. The vertical ice remained rock-solid, without a hint of movement, and the massive arch held firm, even as the winner of the men’s lead competition climbed out onto the iconic ‘rhino horn’ and leapt from the structure in his final dismount. This video captures the experience of the competitors and spectators alike.
