Connecting the Climbing Community

When we connect with another climber, it is much more than having someone spot you on your latest project or the chants of encouragement from your belayer as you’re 15 feet above your last piece of gear. Connecting is also about the areas where we climb, and those organizations we partner with to help improve those areas.

New Belgium Brewing helps us keep The Bivy stocked with craft brews, seltzers, and cider. They also throw down for events like our anniversary party and comps like the Battleship Bounty and Throne Of The Stone. We couldn't be more excited.

About New Belgium Brewing

The co-founders built New Belgium Brewing Company on core values and beliefs that continue today. Before Kim Jordan and Jeff Lebesch ever sold a bottle of beer, they hiked into Rocky Mountain National Park with a jug of home brew in one hand and a pen and pad in the other. Together, they wrote down what they wanted to instill into this business dream of theirs.

New Belgium Brewing Purpose Statement: "To manifest our love and talent by crafting our customers' favorite brands and proving business can be a force for good."
