Climbing Destinations Network

The adventure/experience market-place is full with great platforms and amazing activities! One of the questions we get most often is - What are you doing different? Simple answer - We believe in climbing. We’re doing something different. We’re not just building a marketplace. We’re building a tool—an essential platform—that climbing guides around the globe will WANT to use. Why? Because we are climbers. We know the challenges firsthand: Guides need visibility, reliable tools, and simplicity—not more barriers. Climbers need trust, quality, and seamless access to the best experiences. That’s why our vision is focused entirely on climbing—not hiking, skiing, or generic outdoor adventures. We’re climbing-first, climbing-always. Our platform empowers guides with everything they need in one place: ✅ Scheduling and bookings made easy ✅ Analytics to help them grow their business ✅ Social integrations to reach more climbers ✅ A professional profile—no need to manage a separate website For climbers, it’s about trust and accessibility. We make it easier to connect with professional guides anywhere in the world, creating unforgettable climbing experiences. Why now? The climbing industry is booming, with 55M recreational climbers worldwide and growing. With its inclusion in the Olympics and climbing gyms popping up everywhere, the timing is perfect to build a dedicated, scalable platform that truly serves the climbing community. We’re here to create something authentic. Something meaningful. Something that lasts. Let’s climb together. 🚀 😍 🧗♂️

Recently, we had our first guide joining the platform and listing his activities from Brazil! When we started this journey, we had a vision - To make climbing more accessible and connect people with the breathtaking, remote corners of the world. Seeing this happening is mind blowing! This isn’t just about adding a new destination; it’s about opening the doors to Brazil’s stunning landscapes and hidden climbing spots, places that many climbers and travelers dream of exploring but often don’t have the chance to experience. Moments like these remind us why we’re here—to grow the climbing community and create opportunities for both climbers and guides worldwide. Here’s to more guides, more climbs, and more adventures in the most extraordinary places on Earth🌍 PS - We are actively seeking for pre seed investment for the next couple of months. You are welcome to share with your friends, we are happy to partner with VC's and angels that see the value of this unique opportunity we are working on!

How Climbing Can Transform Communities - The Kalymnos Example If you’ve ever climbed on the stunning limestone cliffs of Kalymnos, Greece, you know it’s not just a world-class climbing destination—it’s a community that thrives on the sport. Once a quiet, traditional fishing village (with actually main source of income was sponges that were cultivated by local divers🤿- and btw still available there today!) - Kalymnos is now a bustling hub for climbers from around the globe. Local businesses—from cozy tavernas to gear shops, accommodations, and transport services—have flourished thanks to climbing tourism. This incredible transformation showcases the power of climbing to uplift rural and remote areas, creating sustainable livelihoods while preserving the environment and celebrating local culture. At the CDN, this is the vision we aspire to scale globally. We connect climbers with certified guides and local businesses, empowering communities to benefit from this growing sport. With 55 million climbers worldwide and climbing now featured in the Olympics, the potential to create opportunities in rural areas is limitless. Kalymnos proves it’s possible. We’re here to make it the norm. Together, let’s connect, climb, and create a better future for local communities. Bringing climbing everywhere and to everyone!

Last week, we attended the FutureTravel summit in Barcelona. It was an exciting day, full of ideas, inspiration, good people, and the future of travel. We believe climbing has a big part of the travelers' future. And we're in the business of making it happen 👌 www.climbingnetwork.app #climbwithlocals

Tomorrow! Let's meet in Barcelona, and speak about those unique adventures rock climbing can bring to travelers. See you at FutureTravel Summit!

What about giving back? The CDN was born from the community of climbing, from traveling, meeting climbers from all over the world, developing climbing areas around the world, climbing walls and boulders in different beautiful and rural parts of the planet. One of the main missions we chose to take on from day one was to take part, and help in growing rural climbing areas around the world. We do that first - by promoting local climbing guides, and second - through the CDN bolting fund. We give back - 5% (!) of every booking made through the platform is going back to bolting and making climbing more safe and accessible around the world. So on your next climbing trip, you don't just support the local guide and community you support the climbing world 🌍 🧗♂️ Find out more on our website!

As climbers, by definition we are drawn to uncomfortable situations, push ourselves outside of our comfort zone. Same as we are doing this past year - Coming down from the mountains to attend conferences, pitch in 'Demo days', meet with investors and other travel tech businesses non stop 🧗♀️ 🏔 💻 We are continuously learning, growing and pushing ourselves to be better. How amazing is it to get people explore the outdoors all around the world, with local guides. These are literally the values that guide us - Exploring, respecting nature, support local communities, and make climbing accessible to everyone - everywhere! Are you joining for a climbing day?

What if we told you... That this can be your team - in your next team-building activity day? 😍 We have more and more guides joining the platform from all over the world, which means that you can organize your team building pretty much anywhere you wish! From one day climbing, to full on climbing-yoga-nature retreat - Talk to us & Book your guide. #teambuilding #climbing
