Mountain Network
Clean Climber has been collaborating with Mountain Network since 2021 as Mountain Network wants to become more sustainable. Mountain Network provides training from indoors all the way to high altitude mountaineering and everything in between. They are aware of the footprint of our sport and want to change the status quo for the better, therefore we collaborate on our five pillars.
REstore
we climb in nature and leave our footprints. Sometimes stuff falls out of our pockets or there’s trash left behind in other ways. Regardless, it shouldn’t be there. With our cleanups through our REstore program, we try to make things a little bit better.
Mountain Network and Clean Climber will organise a cleanup in Pont-a-Lesse on April 10 2023.
REuse
sometimes we forgot things in the gym as climbers, but we will make sure it’s not going into the bin. Useful and safe rock climbing gear will be sent to climbing clubs without money to buy this gear, worn shoes will be recycled, clothing will be donated and drinking bottles will be recycled. Clean Climber provides the logistics and the partners.

REsole
When the rubber of your shoe is worn out, your shoe can still be repaired. Repairing is better than recycling for the environment, good for your wallet and will give you high quality shoes back. Clean Climber will provide you with the service at your Mountain Network gym.
You can expect REsole in the following gyms:
-Leeuwarden (from March 2023)
etc.
REcycle
Are your climbing shoes beyond repair? Clean Climber will recycle your shoes and our partners will produce sports mats from the recycled rubber that you will find in your Mountain Network gym to train on. In the Rijnboulder gym for example, you will find it in the hangboard area.
REthink
We need to educate indoor climbers how to behave in a sustainable way when we climb outdoors. What better place to do this than during the Mountain Network climbing weekends? On April 10th the first REthink workshop will take place in the Ardennes.
