Our Values
Pursue Adventure
We love to chase adventures of any kind. The journey, the challenges, and the triumphs are what motivate us, and sometimes the best adventures don’t end at the summit. We embrace the spirit of blazing our own trail, laugh when the going gets tough, and aren’t scared of saying YES to new things and the unknown.
Elevate with Energy
We bring energy that elevates everything we do. We’re enthusiastic, persistent, and committed to continuous improvement in ourselves and others. Our energy is a force for happiness and success, encouraging everyone to push beyond their limits and strive for excellence.
Live with Passion
We are driven by passion. No matter what it is, we are steadfast and determined to persevere through adversity. We are brave in the face of fear, relentlessly pursue our goals, and believe that resilience and hard work lead to success.
Lead with Authenticity
We lead with authenticity, and encourage everyone to be confident and comfortable in their unique identities. We celebrate diversity and individuality, and recognize that personal strengths can build a stronger, more united team. Ultimately, we foster an environment where everyone can thrive as their best selves.
Empower the Team
We share a commitment to achieving more together. We crave the energy that high-performing teams can inspire, and support those around us to help reach their dreams.
Choose what's Right
We value integrity over comfort and strive to do what is right over what is easy, regardless of the situation. We pride ourselves on accountability and upholding our principles in both everyday tasks and larger than life challenges that ultimately build trust and respect with those around us.
sustainability at off grid
Climbing is grounded in nature, and though we love pulling on our plastic walls we firmly believe in protecting the outdoors so that future generations can explore the wilderness as well.
That’s why Off Grid is dedicated to sustainable practices both in our business, and outside our business. We strive to buy sustainably sourced products, adopt procedures that limit our footprint on the earth, and support organizations that protect our environment.
Off Grid hosts local community & crag clean ups as well, so that the areas we enjoy stay enjoyable. If you’re interested in helping at one of these events, or you’d like to get involved in other sustainability efforts with us, please come talk to us!

Founders Hale & Kate love adventures, but no adventure is truly complete without their dogs. Their Weimaraner's are friendly crag dogs who love shnuggles and snackies more than climbing.
