You cannot become one of the most well respected and trustworthy specialty climbing and expedition outfitters in the world just by carrying the world's finest gear (although it helps!). Just as important is a staff that has the experience and skills to apply their knowledge of the intended end-use, and choose the right gear for the job. In short: we do the things we sell the gear for. It's something we place a very high premium on at Feathered Friends because there is simply no substitute for it.
