From Hanoi to the Moon
Bold moves, big climbs, and even bigger dreams
Our goal is to have a significant social and economic impact while minimizing our environmental footprint. We believe rock climbing bring people together. Through the climbing community, we foster social cohesion in urban area and promote an active and healthy lifestyle. By empowering our partners in rural area, we drive economic vitality in the provinces we serve. Through eco-tourism, we raise awareness about protecting our environment.
Sparking Love for Climbing in Vietnam
As the pioneers of Vietnam’s climbing scene, we aim to inspire climbers of every age to explore both the controlled-environment of the bouldering gym and the raw experience of the outdoor crags. Join us, and let’s shape the future of climbing in Vietnam together—one hold, one route, one top at a time
