Conceived on Half Dome. Born in Basecamp. 

Our story begins in the 1960s when Royal Robbins met Liz Burkner in Yosemite’s Camp 4. 

Royal had established himself as one of the world’s best climbers—his skill and curiosity pushed the sport and helped usher in the golden age of climbing. Liz, a young climber, had moved to Yosemite Valley looking for a life of adventure.  

In the years of adventure that followed, Royal put up countless first ascents, Liz became the first woman to climb Half Dome, they married, and together they founded Royal Robbins apparel. 

For over 55 years, Royal Robbins has been trusted and worn by those seeking a life of adventure. The clothes Royal Robbins makes today are still cotton, hemp, wool, and recycled fibers, and they’re still found in sprinter vans outside Joshua Tree, campsites in Bend, guest houses in Chiang Mai, and anywhere else you call Basecamp. 

Ready to join the adventure? Royal Robbins’ collection of men’s and women’s products can be found online at www.royalrobbins.com and in outdoor and specialty retail partners throughout the U.S. and abroad.
