About Neon Climbing Accessories

What is Neon? Neon is bigger, it’s brighter, and it’s better climbing equipment than the competition.

Our Story

It all started with a single gear sling. I wanted a bright, fun sling to organize my quickdraws, but the only slings I could buy were in simple, boring colors. I whipped up a neon pink sling with a furry shoulder pad, and immediately, friends and strangers took notice. I sold them on the side for many years and slowly learned how to sew more pieces of gear.

In 2013, while living in Morgantown, WV, and attending West Virginia University, I registered Neon Climbing Accessories LLC as a business and went legit, as they say. I spent the next three years earning a degree in Environmental Protection – Soil and Water Conservation and moonlighting as a small business climbing gear manufacturer.

In 2016, I graduated from WVU with a bachelor’s degree and dipped my toes in the world of surveying. I enjoyed it, but the hours were hard, and my passion was ignored. I tried the corporate world for a year but ultimately left it behind and returned to my passion for designing and making climbing equipment.

Soon after, in 2017, Neon moved to Pueblo, Colorado, and Neon became my full-time job. The move to Pueblo was perfect. It gave me the opportunity to grow Neon into a bigger space and take on larger projects. Neon grew from a one-room hobby space into an 800ft garage. With more space came the opportunity for more equipment and room to grow. Looking back, I am amazed at what I accomplished with my Sailrite LSZ-1 Tabletop sewing machine.

In 2020, I began making belay gates. They were plain and simple back then, but every order was an opportunity for improvement. They got bigger and better, and soon I added screen printing to my skill set. Now every detail of our belay gates is customizable.

I have always tried to provide a product that is better than the competition in some way:

• I want my products to last forever, so I use the highest quality materials I can find.
• I want them to be more affordable, so I keep Neon a small and simple business.
• I want my products to be customizable, so they're always made to order. Neon is proud to offer fully customizable gear to suit your every need. There are too many beautiful colors to only offer black and gray, so I have a wide variety of colors.

 

After all, making gear more durable and customizable was the sole reason I fell into this passion.
