about us

Outlier is the promise of high-quality, handcrafted, wood climbing holds.

sculpted with genuine care in lander, wyoming.

Intention

We’re not here to add more noise to the world. We just want to make something better if we can. If we can’t, we won’t.

Nostalgia

We honor our climbing roots and respect that climbing is, at once, useless and transcendental.

No reason at all

Climbing needs no reason. The pursuit of the vertical is a mystery.

Wood holds have been the original training tool since the 70s.

Brian (working above) first climbed on wooden 2x4s at a YMCA in the early 90s. He’s been climbing ever since.
