GIVING BACK

Our team of athletes consists of outdoor developers, photographers, route setters, and world-class competition climbers, and we try to help them achieve their goals and dreams while they help us develop the best gear.

Launched in 2019, we will be offing the Drifter bouldering pad in two versions, plain and Limited Edition (LE).  We will use the LE to showcase different bouldering areas around North America.  We’ll endeavor to work with an artist to paint a local scene of the chosen area which reflects its essence.  Some of the proceeds from the LE will then be set aside and donated to local climbing access groups or towards initiatives to improve the area for the climbing community.

The first area selected for this will be Squamish, BC.  We will be donating all collected funds to the Squamish Access Society, and we’ll keep you updated on how the project helps climbers who visit the area.  Let’s all work together to improve and preserve these beautiful places!

Cruxing in Color

This year, Flashed Climbing and Cruxing in Color joined forces to create a custom crash pad print with the goal of raising funds for Cruxing in Color, a Denver-based organization that promotes representation in climbing by breaking down barriers that exclude people of color from the sport. Cruxing in Color provides climbers of color with access to free outdoor clinics, free or discounted gym memberships, gear, and SPI course and assessment scholarships, among other initiatives. The artwork for the crash pad print was designed by local Denver artist Lynn Suyeko Mandziuk, and 100% of the profits from the sale of these pads will be donated to Cruxing in Color.

Now.Or.Noodles

Our Next Collaboration is with Hannah Reeves, the artist behind Now.Or.Noodles. 100% of the profits will be donated to the Ladies Climbing Coalition.
