We have a new store location!! #climbing #climbinggear

I signed a lease this week for a 2000 sq ft warehouse/office/retail location. Having 2,371 different SKUs from 53 brands and a growing channel is wild but, dang, an actual store front? That feels really official. We had a 700 sq ft spot now, so moving to this other space feels like a blank canvas to do more.

✨Pick ups/will call since it's 2 blocks off I-90 in Issaquah
✨Get an large UTM and other break test machines for testing at UIAA standards
✨2nd studio so I can shoot with guests on the fly
✨Stock rope access and arborist gear with this additional space
✨Stock canyon wet suits and people can come try them on (appt only)
✨Start carrying Dyneema/HMPE

It's going to look like 7 dudes in a dorm room for the first few weeks while we get settled but I hope that we can make the entrance area full of stuff you can touch and try and play with rather than having the good stuff behind glass. It's a nice blend of being an online store warehouse but a fun place to visit to pick up your orders.

Happy to see there's enough of us dedicated to climbing sports to make your store ownership a dream come true.

[ryanpenrod]

That's awesome, plus you're only 30min away from lots of climbing. I will definitely pick up my next order there if it's available!

Next video - “well, here we are in the new store with sledgehammers and crowbars - let’s see if these walls are super good enough!”

[kevinventura]

I would considerate more of like a distribution center

[cmonkey]

Well, before it can be an official store, it’s needs one or two ditbag climbers living in the spare offices 🤣

[paulgaras]

Hownot2 become a massive nationwide climbing gear retailer

Congrats from the non-climbing community!
