About Us
Our Brand - Our Mission
JOE TASKER was a British climber during the 1970's and early 80's.
Joe had delivered his manuscript for his second book, Savage Arena, which recounted his climbing life, on the eve of his departure for the British Everest expedition in 1982. The book was published posthumously.
Our Brand was inspired by Joe's climbing style.
Our Mission is to build the gear for his style of Climbing.

It's not our job to try to tell people why they go to the wild places and mountains. It’s our job to make the very best gear in the world.
Since Mountain Equipment began in 1961 we have participated in countless ascents of the world’s highest peaks, supported climbers establishing ever more adventurous routes, and equipped world record-setting trips to the North and South Poles.
We have been making gear for the most inhospitable places on the planet for over 50 years. You learn a lot here.
And all we have learned, lives in our gear.
