HISTORYA
FAMILY
It all began 150 years ago with a group of brothers, each of them blacksmiths or crystal engravers. These were the Simond brothers. When the first mountaineers needed tools for their upcoming expedition, who do you think they turned to?
Today Simond is still pushing the boundaries of mountaineering technology, with each of our products regularly tested by some of the demanding trainers at the ENSA French Mountaineering and Climbing School, who are tasked with developing the next generation of high altitude guides.
The Rope PARTY Standing at a team of sixty, Simond is made of designers, engineers and inspectors, all here to ensure your climbing enjoyment and safety.

FIND ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT
Wherever you’re climbing, we’ve got you covered. Discover the expert detail and design that goes into each of our products, that will keep you supported whether you’re indoors, on a rock face or up a mountain.
Focus innovation
To optimise your manoeuvres in all situations, we have tweaked the patented Spider closure system. By moving the male part of the Keylock system from the carabiner’s nose, to its gate, the opening is fully released. A seamless system for optimal smoothness.
