The Shoes That Make the First Step Easy

Fit matters more than anything.

A shoe that hurts won't be worn twice. Our kids' climbing shoes are sized for growing feet β€” wide toe boxes, soft rubber, and velcro straps they can do themselves. Available in half sizes from EU 26 to EU 42.

  • βœ“Sticky Vibram sole grips every color hold
  • βœ“Velcro closure β€” on and off in 15 seconds
  • βœ“Half-size increments for the perfect fit
  • βœ“Machine washable after muddy outdoor sessions

Safety First

A Harness That Fits Right Now β€” and Next Season

Grows with them. Keeps them safe.

Our kids' harnesses have color-coded buckle systems so parents can do the safety check in seconds and kids can understand why each piece matters. Padded leg loops prevent that awkward shuffle at the bottom of the wall.

  • βœ“CE EN 12277 certified for sport climbing
  • βœ“Color-coded buckle system for easy parent checks
  • βœ“Adjustable waist 44–68cm, legs 28–50cm
  • βœ“Gear loops for chalk bag and small accessories

Chalk Bags That Are Actually, Genuinely Fun

Because chalk bags should have personality.

A dinosaur. A shark. A unicorn with a tiny horn. Our animal chalk bags are the first thing kids reach for when they walk into the gym. Drawstring closure keeps chalk inside, not on the mat. Belt loop or carabiner clip.

  • βœ“8 animal designs β€” kids pick their spirit animal
  • βœ“Drawstring closure with chunky cord lock
  • βœ“Fits standard chalk balls and blocks
  • βœ“Wipe-clean interior lining

The Helmet They'll Actually Ask to Wear

Star stickers included. Safety guaranteed.

Kids who love their helmet wear it every time. Our helmets come with a sheet of star stickers because personalization is the best safety feature. UIAA certified, fits heads 48–56cm, and weighs just 210g so they forget it's there.

  • βœ“UIAA 106 certified for climbing and mountaineering
  • βœ“Adjustable fit system works with one hand
  • βœ“Sheet of 24 star stickers included in box
  • βœ“210g β€” lighter than a can of soda

"The helmet sizing guide was perfect. I measured his head on a Tuesday, ordered that night, and it was on his head at the crag that Saturday. Fits perfectly."

"The dino chalk bag is literally the reason my son asks to go to the gym. I'm not exaggerating. He calls it 'Rex' and he greets it every morning."
