Dozens of prototypes. Years of athlete testing. Every detail, intentional.
We’ve evolved our proprietary harness construction to be lighter, stronger, and perform even better on the wall.

“During these big days out, our intention is about finding a groove and maintaining awareness throughout the whole push,” says Arc’teryx climber Sam Stroh. “Being equally tuned in to the intense moments and the still — whether I was belaying Frantisek, hauling the bag, or executing a pitch.”
Sam (.light) and his partner Frantisek Agostino () put it all together and sent El Niño in 18 hours and 21 minutes.
“Feeling grateful for all the special moments I shared with Frantisek — from snacking on a ledge a couple thousand feet up to watching him fire a hard, wet pitch in the middle of the night. The energy exchange with a good partner is such a special thing.”
With a little rest, the two found their rhythm again, putting down Golden Gate on El Cap in 26 hours and Father Time on Middle Cathedral in just under 15 hours.
Congrats Sam.

What makes a classic route? We shared a rope with Arc’teryx athlete Jim Pope () to find out.
Covering hallowed ground on two climbs from Ken Wilson’s Classic Rock, Jim took us on a journey through time and rhyolite on some of the UK’s most celebrated rock.

The history of climbing in America spans generations and in many places, the hardware has been there just as long.
That’s why Arc’teryx is proud to be the presenting partner of the Access Fund’s Anchor Replacement Fund, supporting the ongoing work to replace aging fixed anchors and protect access to the places we climb.
For the past decade, the grant has helped local climbing organizations like the New River Alliance of Climbers maintain and preserve critical climbing infrastructure. This year, funding supported the (Re)New the Cirque project, helping replace fixed hardware on 20 routes at the Cirque, one of the premier crags of the New River Gorge.
Arc’teryx athlete Tyler Thompson (.w.thompson) joined the effort firsthand: “The New is an incredibly special place to me. I experienced my first of nearly every grade here, my first projects, and my first first ascents here. It was meaningful to come back and learn the local rebolting ethics, different methods of bolt extraction and going hole-for-hole and just see how much everyone respects the rock.”
Together, we can help preserve climbing areas for the next generation of climbers and the communities who care for them.

On the perfect challenge, possibility opens up.
“Your mind gets out of the way,” says Arc’teryx athlete Jonathan Siegrist (). “It’s a deeply physical thing. There are no decisions. The body just goes.”

What do you do with an idea?
For Arc’teryx athlete Amelie Kühne (.kuehne) and her partners Julia Cassou, Belen Prados, and Caro North the question was just the beginning.
“Can we really pull this off,” they wondered.
In their sight was the sheer granite towers of Patagonia, in particular the rarely climbed and steep 1200m South African route up Torre Central del Paine.
Never had an all-female team climbed this route.
“Our goal was clear — a team ascent of Torres del Paine, ideally free. The excitement was huge,” says Amelie.
After facing storms, bitter cold, rockfall, and 13 days on the wall, the team stood on the summit.
“Though we didn’t free the entire route, it was the first all-female ascent. The scale of the climb, the conditions, and the style made it something far bigger than a single objective.”
Congrats to Amelie, Julia Cassou, Belen Prados, and Caro North.
