YY Vertical: Smart Products for Vertical Sports

Founded in 2013, YY Vertical gained worldwide recognition with its innovative belay glasses, which improve the climbing experience by reducing neck strain.

Since then, the brand has expanded its product range to include well-designed climbing equipment, training devices, and recovery tools to help the global climbing community enhance their performance and fully enjoy their sport. Almost a decade later, YY Vertical has become a trusted name in the climbing world, known for high-quality and functional products.

The mission is simple: Providing smarter solutions for a better experience

Smart?

YY Vertical’s products are born from a deep passion for climbing and outdoor sports, combined with careful observation of athletes’ needs. This combination enables the development of products specifically designed to optimize athletic performance and comfort.

Vertical Sports?

Although the primary focus has always been on climbing, the ambition goes far beyond that. YY Vertical is also passionate about other vertical sports such as trail running, cycling, skiing, and more.

Why the name “YY Vertical”?

The first “Y” stands for the founder’s last name, Yang, while the second “Y” refers to the company’s location in Grenoble – a city situated between three valleys: Chartreuse, Belledonne, and Vercors. Looking at the map, these valleys form a “Y” shape, which inspired the brand’s name.

Climbing

At YY Vertical, they aim to support climbers at every stage of their journey by offering products that assist in Warm Up, Train, Climb, Recover, and Climbing World.
