I take climbing seriously — and I think you should too!
But that doesn’t mean our clothing can’t be fun, stylish, and super comfy at the same time.

I’m Tsjalling Hospes, and for the past few years I’ve been working as a bartender in a climbing gym.
If you’ve ever climbed at Noardwand (Leeuwarden, NL), there’s a good chance you’ve seen me around.

What started as a joke — my name sounding like “chalk” — turned into the perfect way to combine my love for climbing with my passion for illustration.
Now, my designs are proudly worn on the backs of dozens of climbers (and counting).
