Why do we work with guides?

Denali. El Capitan. Annapurna. Aconcagua. Cerro Torre. Everest. The biggest, baddest peaks and walls that we daydream about. Mountain Hardwear partners with guide services around the world to enhance their expeditions and provide gear and equipment suitable for every summit attempt. We work with guides that are held in high esteem within the industry, who exhibit professionalism, and of course, those with proximity to the big peaks and untamed massifs that we pursue. In return, we receive priceless feedback, valuable product testing, and top-notch exposure in all areas of the alpine world. Without these partnerships, we wouldn't be who we are today.
