Royal Robbins was known to be the best climber in the United States, he was also known for giving birth to a technical foundation that is still in use in the American climbing community today. Back when Royal Robbins and his wife Liz were iconic Sierra Nevada rock climbers during the late 1960s; they practiced techniques called “clean climbing” with climbers/philosophers, which allowed them to climb big walls while ensuring little to no damage to the rock. Royal, and his wife always had a deep respect for the natural world and loved to explore it through rock climbing. With a huge passion for the outdoors, Royal Robbins wants to help climbers and hikers by creating outdoor apparel that can move, stand up to the harsh Yosemite granite, and that fits well and looks good.
