The story of Tenaya<\/a> is not just about building performance climbing shoes<\/a>, it\u2019s about the people, both behind the brand and those who represent it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climbing is often depicted as an individual pursuit\u2014the climber versus the rock\u2014yet, that doesn\u2019t tell the full story. There\u2019s a team behind every ascent, from the route developer who has the vision to establish a new line, to the belayer who provides encouragement and a safe catch, to the coaches and physios who keep us strong, to the product designers who engineer the gear we use, and to all of mentors who show us the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This December we are sharing the stories of the people and professionals behind the send. We invite you to follow us on social media<\/a> for blog posts, videos, and live interviews from the many different and often under-appreciated pillars of the community who make the climbing life possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
