At Aelith, we strive to find the intersection of form and function within climbing gear. Our goal is to produce equipment that not only performs incredibly from a practical training standpoint, but enriches the soul. Aelith designs gear that connects the user to the act of climbing—gear that invites reflection on its shape, texture, temperature, angle and moisture, just as one evaluates each hold on a climb outdoors. Every Aelith Equipment product begins with careful sketches and digital sculpting, aiming to bring the essence of outdoor rock into training environments. Aelith captures key characteristics of the natural world with intention and meticulous design.
WHAT WE DO
Aelith Equipment is dedicated to establishing the standards of high-end gear and equipment by thoughtfully creating and crafting well-machined, unique and striking pieces of art.
At Aelith, aesthetics are elevated to become equally as important as the product’s function. Our deep-rooted, top quality gear and equipment, machined in-house in the USA, offer unparalleled ergonomics, elegance, durability and quality for those who dare to ascend. At Aelith Equipment, we machine our products using a Langmuir MR-1 Gantry Mill — a precision 3-axis vertical CNC milling machine built for high rigidity, tight tolerances and industrial-level precision.

A Sustainable future of climbing gear
Aelith strives to push forward the sustainability of climbing by using unique, premium materials like aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum. Unlike plastic or wood, aluminum is infinitely recyclable. Aluminium can be reused and recycled over and over again without any loss in quality or material integrity. This means that Aelith’s aluminum climbing gear can continue to be recycled into new products after they finish serving their lifespan as aesthetically pleasing climbing equipment. This in conjunction with the extended lifespan of the aluminum material will keep Aelith’s gear from filling our landfills.
Aelith envisions a future where climbing gyms do not harm the very environments their communities cherish. A future where training doesn’t come at the expense of outdoor climbing destinations. Aelith is working toward a full range of indefinitely recyclable gear that will make a lasting, positive impact on the sport and the environment.
