Sachi Anma Profile Started climbing at the age of 12, and four years later won the Youth A category at the World Youth Championships, making his mark on the world stage. He won the overall World Cup lead competition in 2012 and 2013, becoming the first Japanese climber to achieve overall victory for two consecutive years. He retired from competition in 2015 and shifted his focus to outdoor climbing. In the same year, he became the first Japanese climber to complete "Fight or Flight" (5.15b), a representative route in Spain, which had only been climbed by three other climbers worldwide at the time. The difficulty of 5.15b remains the hardest recorded climb in Japan as of 2024. He also succeeded in the second ascent of "Tinipi" (5.15a) near Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia at an altitude of around 4000m, significantly expanding his field of activity. He then dedicated himself to "development," creating new routes, and in 2018, he developed and first ascended Japan's first 5.15b, "Soul Mate," in Okutama, Tokyo. In 2022, he developed and first ascended "The Last One" (5.14b R) on the Oya-suri rock in Mizugaki, achieving recognition as an all-around climber.

View Details

Arc'teryx was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1989. It is located about an hour's drive from the rugged mountain range known as the "Coast Mountains" that stretches along the Pacific coast. In this city where outdoor activities naturally blend into daily life, it started as a garage brand called "Rock Solid," manufacturing and selling climbing gear. In 1991, they launched the "Vapor Harness," which utilized thermoformed 3D foam, and changed the company name to ARC'TERYX, inspired by the "Archaeopteryx," the first bird to fly in the history of evolution. Based on the philosophy of always creating products "from scratch," and drawing on the technology and experience cultivated in the rich and harsh environment of the "Coast Mountains," Arc'teryx continues to redefine industry standards with innovations focused on "design, craftsmanship, and performance." They consistently produce the highest quality products that deliver the best performance, leading the evolution of outdoor products.
