Have you ever wondered what the behind the scenes of making climbing gear looks like? We talked to our Product Designer, Taybor Abplanalp, to learn about the process of product development!

With peak climbing season approaching us, it is time to make sure you’ve got your climbing kit ready to go. We asked a couple Cypher employees to share with us their climbing trip essentials, as well as their experiences with climbing!

Earth Day is on April 22nd every year! Learn about the history of Earth Day and about the Leave No Trace Principles. How will you be celebrating Earth Day this year?

From the Archives: Former employee, Paul Larkin. My good friend Braden Jenkins and I got off to an early 4:21am start in the darkness. After hiking in headlamps for 1.5 hours, we arrived at the start of the climb at dawn. The wall was intimidating, around 500 feet wide with endless variations. We decided to free solo (no rope) the 1,500 or so vertical feet of climbing. It's rated at 5.5 and for more comfort people should consider roping up on this exposed climb as falling would have serious consequences. We enjoyed the freedom and speed of climbing ropeless. The first rays of sunlight hit us about three quarters way up the climb, a great way to watch a sunrise! 

Cypher is stoked to introduce our all-new line of multi-sport sunglasses. We’ve created three different attractive styles of sunglasses designed with unique features for adventure enhancement. The Piedmont, The Powell, and the Pacifico.

Cypher wants to invite you into the mountains. We want to boost you over the barriers that try to prevent you from experiencing climbing. The right equipment can introduce you to the sport and will grow with you as your exploration evolves.
