Climbing has always been about connections, community and sharing. And the Friend, Wild Country’s iconic piece of rock protection, didn’t just change climbing. It started something bigger, our value of connections, friendship. Over the time, this value have only grown bigger and wider together with the climbing community. This summer, with Rack’n’Roll events, we’re bringing that full circle. Connecting the heritage of climbing with the new generation shaping its future.
With Rack’n’Roll, we’re taking it back to what matters: climbing together, sharing, and having a good time.
Wild Country was built on connection. The Friend is where it started, but what followed was a culture of shared experiences, trust, and partnerships. Today, much of that happens in gyms. That’s why Rack’n’Roll happens indoors, because we are with our community anywhere and everywhere.
Come and join us in a special series of events that connects the very beginning of climbing adventures and a new generation of the iconic Friends, one of the best crack climbers in the world, and the cities. Whether on rock or plastic, climbing is still about the community.
What to expect
A simple, open format. No pressure. No competition. Each event is designed as a session and community meet, not a show. Together, we will enjoy:
