the community I have only been climbing for just shy of a year now - fully addicted, and a lifer for sure. I went to a gym about 6 years ago with my cousin and hated it. Not the actual climbing, but the surroundings. The gym was small and cramped, and must have been filled with the "good" climbers because I felt like I was being judged on every move I made. I saw looks, and was made to feel really uncomfortable. That is an awful first impression when getting into an activity that pulls from so many physiological factors. I gaev it another go, felt the same and walked away - I didn't understand it. On a whim of self exploration if you will, I walked into the local gym last May and my life changed for the better. Everyone was amazing and supportive, and I built not only friends but was grown to be a really tight family. I started pitching the idea about starting a clothing company geared towards rock climbing and received great responses and was given the confidence to follow my "dream." Long story short, Klime Clothing has evolved from a distant idea at the gym to a full blown business and adventure. We are growing steadily and have some HUGE plans for the future, which I will be posting on here frequently - I'm bummed it took me this long to find this site. If you are interested in any aspect of Klime: sponsorship,sales,event coordination, or just want to chat, please email me!
