Patagonia announces the new concept "Free Wall Kit," developed for climbers tackling harsh multi-pitch rock climbing.

This kit was born from close collaboration between Patagonia's climbing ambassadors who continue to climb at the forefront and the design team, and is structured around the concept of maximizing short rests on long, steep, and continuous pitches. By focusing on protection and recovery within the wall, it builds up small reserves to lead to completion.

Under the Forge-Driven Design approach, it incorporates insights from the ambassadors' latest techniques and field testing, designed so that each piece works together to increase efficiency on the route. As a result, a comprehensive system specialized for big walls, blending the highest level of craftsmanship and material selection, has been completed.
