Metolius is an American brand which started in 1983 in Doug Phillips garage, situated in close proximity to the headwaters of the Metolius River in Oregon from which the brand gets its name. Due to the limited supply of climbing equipment at the time, many climbers made their own equipment which is how Metolius found their way in developing the equipment that just was not available at the time.
Since their humble beginnings, like many great origin stories started from basements/garages, Metolius have become one of the largest climbing equipment manufacturers in the world and definitely one of the most diverse. From Big Wall Portaledges to Bouldering Pads, Brushes to Chalk, Trad Protection/Sport Draws even covering Training Equipment/Climbing Holds....They just do it all!
Metolius lives by their philosophy of "Safer-by-design" to try and remove as much danger from the potentially dangerous sport we all love. Taking from their large wealth of experience, they are dedicated in making the most strongest, safest and most bombproof equipment possible across their whole range to make sure you can count on your equipment no matter what.
With athletes roster such as Beth Rodden, Peter Croft, Matt Segal, Will Stanhope and Jimmy Webb in the US/Canada (to name a few), and Mathew Wright and Orrin Coley (amongst others) from the UK, you know they are true to their word. Each of these athletes take their performance to the top of each of their disciplines, which are as diverse as Metolius themselves, and show that the equipment meets the standard for all as a testament to the quality of the brand.
