About Us


Welcome to Climber Bum! We are building a search engine that will enable climbers to find the best deals on climbing gear online. Rock climbing and mountaineering are expensive activities. Looking for the right mountaineering ice axe, the perfect fitting climbing shoes, or the lightest new ropes can be a time consuming process. With this site we want to help you save both time and money because we are climbers just like you. We are passionate about climbing and technology.

We are starting small with only a few retailers and brands and are growing fast in the months ahead. To grow our site and make it the best we can we will need your input. Is there something that you can't find? Is there a retailer you think we should partner with? Did you find a problem with our site? Did you think of a feature that would make our site more awesome? Do you have a cool link or story you want to share with us? Maybe you want to just say hello or thank you.

If so, you should let us know on our Feedback site or through our e-mail contact form, or on Facebook or Twitter.

If you want to receive the occasional e-mail from us about site news and whenever we add new climbing gear you should subscribe to our newsletter. We promise not to spam you — we hate that too!

If you are interested in climbing news, videos and photos, and other ramblings from behind the scenes of building Climber Bum, you should also check out our blog.

Thanks again for visiting our site and climb on safely.
