OUR STORY
CLIMBING LEGACY
Our company was founded in the 1960s by Royal Robbins, one of the all-time great Yosemite rock climbers, and his wife Liz, the first woman to climb Half Dome.
ADVENTURE SPIRIT
Royal and Liz shared a passion for climbing. But what really tied them together was their relentless spirit of adventure, to life, and for life in the outdoors.
DEFINING MOMENT
The 1960s outdoor gear & garments left a lot to be desired. After seeing a photo of themselves in ratty jeans on top of Half Dome, they decided to do something about it.
ADVENTURE CLOTHING
Inspired by their passion for exploring the outdoors, they set out to make clothing for people who bring the same spirit of adventure to everything they do.
VERSATILE WEAR
Their idea was to develop durable clothing that performs in nature, designed in a smart, refined style that goes everywhere else—enabling people always to be ready for their next adventure.
ETHICAL & SUSTAINABLE FROM THE BEGINNING
Decades before others, they built a successful company based on the principles of honesty and respect towards the natural world. Pioneering ethics and sustainability in the outdoors the same way 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.” And then became the first woman to climb Half Dome. At Royal Robbins, we believe in saying “Yes” to living a life of adventure.
What we offer:
· Small, dedicated brand with passionate, mission-driven colleagues who work to make a difference
· A global work environment where employees are encouraged to reach their full potential
· A company that promotes engaged and 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.
