About Us
RopesGear.com first opened shop in 2008, the passion-project of a couple of North Texas college roommates looking to sell gear for an activity they loved. In 2024 the baton was passed to us, James, Mauria & our family.
Anyone who has kids or works with them knows how important the philosophy behind ropes courses is. Like most people who spend time around ropes, harnesses and carabiners, we have diverse interests, a love of almost everything outdoors, and an insatiable hunger for adventure and challenge. When we were presented the opportunity to take the helm of Ropes Gear, we jumped on it.
It feels amazing being part of a community devoted to physical strength, mental toughness, grit and the kind of focus that's hard to find in this digital-first world.
We've also been overjoyed to get to know other people who come to us for gear. We've served construction workers, arborists, sailors, churches, schools, scouts, acting companies, roughnecks, and... an alligator farm (with a ropes course). We're working overtime to expand our offerings to meet the evolving demands of our customers, some of which have been with Ropes Gear for over 15 years.
With such an awesome variety of customers, we're even being pulled into other sports and recreation realms such as snow sports, water sports, backpacking, fishing and more to our offerings. Stay tuned, but if you need anything recreation-related, get in touch!
Ropes Gear is here to help (17 years and counting)!
