Ambassador Program
Train it.
Test it.
Tell us.
We don't pay influencers to post. We partner with serious climbers to test prototypes, give real feedback, and help us build better gear. If that's you — read on.
The Program
Not a sponsorship.
A partnership.
Traditional sponsorships pay athletes to post content. That's not what this is. Ascent Ambassadors get early access to prototypes and the actual job of testing them — not performing.
You'll receive boards before they go to market. You'll use them in real training cycles. You'll send us real feedback: what held up, what didn't, what we should change.
That feedback shapes production. Your name goes in the acknowledgements, and you get every production board we make — for life, at cost.

Who Qualifies
Who We're Looking For
01
Competitive Climbers
Provincial or national competitors in any discipline — sport, bouldering, lead. You climb hard and you know what good training feels like. Follows are nice. Results are better.
02
Coaches & Routesetters
You're in gyms every day. You understand training periodization, finger load management, and what climbers at different levels actually need from equipment. Your eye is worth a lot.
03
Dedicated Trainers
You're not a national competitor, but you're disciplined — structured training blocks, hangboard protocols, and a genuine interest in analyzing your own performance. We want that rigor.
We're not looking for:
