Metolius

It’s shocking to think that it’s been over 35 years since we cranked up the Metolius Climbing machine. Getting our start in Doug Phillips’ tiny garage near the headwaters of the Metolius River (from where we take our name), none of us could have envisioned where climbing would be in 25 years or that we would even still be in the business of making climbing gear.

Our mission is to make the strongest, safest, most bombproof gear in the world. At every opportunity, we try to exceed the established safety standards while providing the highest level of performance. We exhaustively test and re-test, in the lab and out in the real world…using ourselves as the test guinea pigs! If we don’t feel like the standards are up to par, we work with the sanctioning bodies (CE/UIAA) to help re-write the standards. We do this because we, too, put our lives on the line and you need to know that you can count on our gear 100%!
