Blue Ice

Blue Ice is committed to manufacturing our products in a way that is socially responsible and environmentally conscientious. Our manufacturing processes are fine-tuned to reduce waste, prevent unnecessary pollution, and promote sustainability. We are fully aware that all manufacturing has an impact, so we put a great deal of attention into creating products that are meant to last. Our commitment to durability is essential, since the only products that don't pollute are the ones that are never made. For this reason, we also back our equipment with our unlimited warranty and offer a repair service for damaged items. To further express our commitment to the environment, we are proud members of 1% For The Planet, which means that we donate 1% of our annual sales to organizations committed to environmental causes. Blue Ice was born out of our love for the mountains, which have fueled our imaginations ever since childhood. For us, climbing is not just a matter of physical accomplishments to impress our peers or to test our limits. We climb because we love the experience: the views, the silence, the wind, the smells of wildlife and forests. These elements are all part of a world in which we seek to immerse ourselves rather than observe from afar. But beautiful scenery is not enough for us. We want to be part of our environment, and we seek out that feeling of uncertainty and unknown that makes our adventures unique. We feel that climbing takes us back to our roots, and helps us escape from our over-connected, safe, and predictable world. Climbing allows us to reconnect with our survival instincts in a beautiful, yet potentially hostile environment, where outcomes are uncertain. Unfortunately, the magical alpine world that reminds us of our childhood dreams is quickly disappearing, swallowed up by reckless development, shortsighted ideas about mass tourism, and the willingness to sell prepackaged ascents that are consumed like fast food. The quest for deep mountain experiences has evolved into selling adrenaline highs in a deceptively safe environment, with guaranteed success whenever possible. At Blue Ice, it is our mission to promote a climbing style which ensures that the purest mountain experiences will be preserved for future generations.
