The Story

DARING DIRTBAG is a sustainable climbing brand based out of Bend, OR, selling chalk bags and accessories since 2018. Each bag is completely one-of-a-kind and handcrafted from repurposed fabrics and materials. 

The essence of climbing culture has always been individuality, and these limited-edition chalk bags honor this belief. Climbers live alternative lifestyles, challenge societal norms, dominate ground breaking ascents, and carve their own paths. These daring individuals are the inspiration for this creative endeavor and fuel the desire to design gear that reflects this bold community. The rebellious spirit of the sport becomes a symbol of freedom and self expression for so many climbers, and we feel called to contribute to that experience. Our hope is that when you rock a DARING DIRTBAG chalk bag, you don’t just feel like you’re using a piece of gear – you're owning who you are and making a statement.

The Mission

We’re committed to preserving the planet we climb on. Our goal is to bring awareness to sustainability and upcycling by giving new life to discarded items and materials. We strongly believe that the world would be a greener place if we prioritize revival over replication, repair over replacement. The hope is that our ethos extends beyond the products; it's a call to action for climbers and individuals to cherish what they own and invest in quality over quantity.
