OUR STORY
CLIMBING LEGACY
Our company was founded in the 1960s by Royal Robbins, one of Yosemite's legendary rock climbers, and his wife Liz, the first woman to climb Half Dome.
ADVENTURE SPIRIT
Royal and Liz were united by their shared passion for climbing, but it was their unyielding spirit of adventure—both for life and the outdoors—that truly bonded them.
DEFINING MOMENT
In the 1960s, outdoor gear and apparel left much to be desired. After seeing a photo of themselves wearing worn-out jeans atop Half Dome, they were inspired to make a change.
ADVENTURE CLOTHING
Driven by their passion for the outdoors, Royal and Liz set out to create clothing for those who approach life with the same adventurous spirit they brought to climbing.
VERSATILE WEAR
Their vision was to design durable clothing that excels in nature, with a smart, refined style that seamlessly transitions to everyday life—ensuring people are always ready for their next adventure.
ETHICAL & SUSTAINABLE FROM THE BEGINNING
Long before it became widespread, they built a successful company grounded in principles of honesty and respect for the natural world, pioneering ethics and sustainability in outdoor gear, just as they did with climbing.
THE NATURE OF BELONGING
SAY YES TO ADVENTURE
When Royal asked Liz, “Do you want to go on a climb?” she said, “Yes.” That moment led to her becoming the first woman to climb Half Dome. At Royal Robbins, we believe in saying “Yes” to a life of adventure—one that inspires growth, exploration, and connection.
What we offer:
· An emerging, dedicated heritage brand with passionate, mission-driven colleagues committed to making a positive impact
· A global work environment that encourages employees to reach their full potential
· A company that fosters engaged, healthy people, strong communities, thriving natural spaces, and top financial performance
SUSTAINABILITY
We want to continue providing outdoor products for generations to come, we play an active part in bringing that goal to fruition.

Their shared passion for climbing, their role in leading the “clean climbing” movement, and their deep connection to Yosemite’s Camp 4 shaped the brand’s core values.
Since day one, our goal has been to create functional, durable, and stylish products with a mindful commitment to minimizing our impact on the planet. We prioritize sourcing lower-impact materials, ensuring all-day comfort, and offering timeless styles inspired by our Northern California home.
“We need adventure. It’s in our blood. It will not go away. The mountains will continue to call because they uniquely fulfill our need for communion with nature, as well as hunger for adventure.”
