VERTICAL WORK Competitors

Born in the mountains out of love for freeride skiing, our passion for adventure runs deep. We believe that freeride is a mindset, an attitude, a drive to challenge convention, to forge your own path, to explore and discover, and choosing your own line. Based on this, our purpose is simple. As for our products, they all enable the freedom to be adventurous. Whether horizontally or vertically, on skis, by bike, or on foot, they offer the optimal balance of style and performance. Our Scandinavian heritage is ever-present, and our commitment to doing better things in a better way is our never-ending responsibility. For memories, stories, products, and adventures that will withstand the test of time.

We currently operate three separate climbing facilities locate in Chattanooga TN and Birmingham AL with over 65,000 square feet of climbing area between them.
