Rab & Gramicci brings together the gritstone heritage of the Peak District with the granite legacy of Yosemite, creating a collection that honours the pioneering spirit of 1980s climbing culture.
Born just months apart on opposite sides of the Atlantic, both brands emerged from the transformative climbing scene of the early 1980s that defined modern climbing. Rab forged on the gritstone crags outside Sheffield, UK, and Gramicci, hewn from the mighty granite cliffs of Yosemite, share more than just a birth year.
The collaboration fuses Gramicci’s Stonemasters legacy with alpinist Rab Carrington’s mountain expertise. It’s a celebration of climbing counterculture, a joining of generations, a meeting of minds, materials, and mountain spirit. Rooted in rock and steel, driven by the instinct for problem-solving that only climbers can have, and fuelled by an unbridled love of the mountains, it translates decades of mountain wisdom into modern performance and style.
The collection represents the authentic DNA of both brands. Together, they have taken their most iconic gear to the next level. It combines Gramicci’s signature style and movement-optimised cuts with Rab’s hallmark technical precision. Inspired by Yosemite big walls, informed by decades of expertise, it’s gear that performs and looks the part. Whether you’re scrambling up a rockface, resting between burns, or navigating city streets, it delivers comfort, freedom and rugged protection.
