The Clymb
Are you afflicted? Have you ever crawled out of bed at four in the morning to be at the front of the line at an REI gear sale? Do you wish there was a place where the gear sales never end?
TheClymb—one of the first websites of its kind in the outdoor gear industry—is an online private sales network that features high-end gear on the cheap.
Here’s how it works: the site has three-day sale events for various partner brands (which include Icebreaker, Dakine and Keen, among many others), offering 70 percent off high-end gear. Members get an email informing them which company is being featured each round and what products are available. Then it’s up to you to hold yourself back from buying.
While TheClymb is a private forum that you can only enter if invited, you can bypass the membership for a limited time by clicking here.
We’ve been big fans of TheClymb (based in Portland, Oregon) ever since one of the founders, a former executive at Adidas, accidentally wandered into Wend HQ while checking out an open office in the space next door. He told us what he did, we told him who we were and then we all just sort of basked in the irony.
TheClymb has been available to industry insiders for a few months, but it has now officially launched to the public.
Great people, great company. Check it out.
Always great to hear about other discount outdoor gear sites out there, as gear is not getting any cheaper. There are countless ways to save! Thanks for the great post!!
