Scarpa is an Italian shoe brand. The name actually means 'shoe' in Italian. You might know the brand from the stylish outdoor approach shoes but that's not the only thing they make. They actually have the best and most technical range of climbing shoes. From trailrunning shoes and sportsclimbing shoes to alpine shoes and the most modern mixed climbing shoes. And as those sports are the thing we do daily we proudly represent Scarpa.
Annually Scarpa proved us with a range of shoes fitting our lifestyle and climbing.

Monte Cervino is one of my favourite climbing gyms in the Netherlands. The single highest outdoor wall, the highest indoor wall and the best routes. But not only because of the routes I like to climb here but also because of their good coffee, meals, beer and best climbing partners.
Second You is a small clothing brand that tries to make their way into the bigger scene. Their idea: make clothing that fits your body and feels like a second skin, in other words: Second You.
