Yosemite Rock Climbing Exhibit

In November of 2019 we connected with Covive, a sustainably focused experiential design firm located in SF, who was looking for a specialty fabricator to build a new section of the rock climbing exhibit in the Yosemite Visitors Center in Yosemite National Park. Being big fans of the park, and looking to add to our portfolio of permanent installation projects, we happily jumped on board. Our producer Elizabeth Etienne took the reins on this project, which consisted of several unique vignettes highlighting the wide variety of technical equipment used in this thrilling sport, the history of climbing in the park, and the athletes that blazed the trails Yosemite is known for worldwide. The 450 square foot exhibit featured incredibly accurate faux granite facades, lots of large format graphics, illuminated vitrines, and physical displays of climbing equipment including a suspended portaledge and rescue litter. We take great pleasure in bringing fantastic designs to reality, so thank you to our team of talented designers. Special thanks to Chad Upham at Covive for bringing us on board. Thank you to James Freed at James Freed Design, Bo Hick, Chris Hirneisen at Vectorpickle, Jon Altemus at Altemus Environmental Design and Fabrication, and Ryan Kelly with the Yosemite Conservancy. Huge appreciation to Yosemite National Park, American Alpine Club, and Yosemite Climbing Association for the collaboration. What an exceptional team to work with! Photographs courtesy of Covive
