When Jacob Rosenquist was in rehab after his injury, he started searching for ways he might still climb. The second time he ever tied in post-injury was with ParaCliffHangers. There he met Jorge Macias, another adaptive climber he’d followed online. “When you’re around other people with disabilities,” Jake says, “instead of telling you what to do, they ask where you’re at and what you want to try.” With support from a 2024 No Wasted Days Grant, Jake returned to outdoor climbing for the first time since his injury — in Yosemite with ParaCliffHangers. Under headlamps, with granite under his hands, he felt what he’d been missing: “It felt so cool to be back on real rock.” ParaCliffHangers is a disabled-led nonprofit creating communities where adaptive climbers can thrive. We’re honoured to stand alongside them in shaping a more inclusive outdoors. Learn more about ParaCliffHangers in the comments. #NoWastedDays #ClimbingForAll

This summer, 12 Guest Services representatives stepped onto real rock at Lighthouse Park, just outside Vancouver, Canada. As part of Demo Good Sh!t (DGS), an experiential learning program designed to help our Guest Services team demo our gear, they tested harnesses, climbed in Gamma Pants and learned how the gear moves in terrain it's built for. These sessions were led by an all-female team of facilitators, including Stephanie Ng (DGS founder and lead facilitator), Emma Ward (Guest Services Training) and Elie Hayward (a certified climbing instructor and Guest Services teammate). Together, they created a space for learning that was inclusive, hands-on and deeply supportive. Climbing changed how they talk about the gear but also how they moved through challenge and built trust in each other. Swipe through to see a few moments from the field. 📸: Larissa Petaske, George Mohan, Christian Pagal #ArcteryxLife #GuestServices

What if climbing began with letting go? MUGA follows world-renowned climber ashima shiraishi into the ancient granite of Switzerland’s Ticino Valley, where every stone holds millions of years of history. As they climb, the line between self and rock dissolves, revealing “muga”—a Japanese Zen concept; a state beyond ego, expectation, and desire. This film is a meditation from one of the world’s best climbers on climbing, geology, and learning to be. Arc’teryx Presents: MUGA, featuring Ashima Shiraishi.

Education. Access. Community. Core. Arc’teryx Academies are the pinnacle expression of who we are, focused on progression, learning, and building connection in the mountains. Every year, the Squamish Climb Academy brings that to life in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, BC. This year, it lived up to everything we’ve come to expect. Last month, climbers and community members of all levels came together to learn from best-in-class guides and athletes, share skills, and move through the landscape with intention. Evenings were for gathering — films, panels, music, and storytelling rooted in mountain culture. We’ve pulled together a few moments that capture what made this year’s Academy feel so special. The clinics. The conversations. The granite. The energy – all of it! Photo Credits: Victoria Kohner-Flanagan, Jessy Braidwood, Taylor Shaffer, Chad Chomlack, John Price #ArcteryxAcademy

Sometimes your first job sets the tone for everything that follows. For Jake Toews, that job started as a co-op on our Learning & Development team. He didn’t know what to expect; only that he wanted to be somewhere that matched his passion. What he found was more than a role: stretch assignments that scared him, a team that trusted him, and moments that felt like they belonged in a movie. Two years later, Jake’s no longer the co-op looking for direction. He’s mentoring the next student, building a career, and reminding us what growth looks like when people are supported to try, stumble, and stretch. Read his full story ↓ #ArcteryxLife #TheBirdCoop

No Wasted Days started in our backyard, but it’s becoming something much bigger. What began as a spontaneous rule in North Vancouver — when the snow’s deep enough, the mountains win — has grown into a global tradition. Last month, our Japan team embraced their first No Wasted Day by gathering in Yuzawa to celebrate the start of the Fuji mountain season. Some hiked and foraged in the forest. Others trail ran or climbed near home. Everyone made space for the outdoors and made it their own. No Wasted Days isn’t just about getting outside. It’s about choosing presence, joy, and community when the opportunity shows up. Watch how our team in Japan brought it to life.

When Nick Will first joined Arc’teryx as an Assistant Store Manager, he admits he “didn’t know what [he] wanted.” What followed was a series of leaps: saying yes to leadership, moving across continents, opening our first Sydney stores, and eventually stepping into a strategic role shaping how retail grows globally. His journey proves that retail isn’t just a landing place — it can be a launchpad. One built on curiosity, stretch, and sometimes, ordering the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich when you probably shouldn’t. 🌶️ Read Nick’s full story. ↓ Explore our retail roles: https://lnkd.in/dtCFfnay #ArcteryxLife #ArcteryxCareers

The best leaders don’t arrive at leadership. They grow into it. For Andreas Misar, Store Manager at our Parndorf Outlet, retail has been a space of steady growth where each challenge, conversation, and milestone has shaped his journey into a more confident, capable leader. He started young, drawn in by the joy of helping people gear up for their next mountain adventure. Even when life took him elsewhere, retail kept calling him back, not for the transaction, but for the connections. Over time, his view of leadership evolved. “What matters most,” Andreas says, “is that my team feels supported and connected. When that happens, success follows because people stand up for each other and grow together.” ‘Live It’ to him means more than wearing the gear and being outdoors. It’s hiking together, pushing limits as a team, and sharing experiences you carry for years. Its morning smiles, the unshakeable trust and the pride of watching people grow in ways they never expected. Andreas’ journey proves retail can be more than a job. It can be the place where purpose and leadership meet and keep growing.

When leadership is about lifting others, recognition takes on a different shape. For Christian Melecio, Assistant Manager at our Old Orchard store in Chicago, it meant heading to Boulder, Colorado for Arc’Adventure — our recognition experience for team members who bring our values to life. Christian was nominated for the way he leads with curiosity, creates space for belonging, and leaves every place better than he found it. That recognition turned into a week in the mountains. It wasn’t just time away from the store. It was a pause to reflect, to experience something new, and to return with fresh stories, a different perspective, and maybe a little more sun on his face.
