ESTÁ QUASE…
This time last year, Crag Gremlin was just a few hats and some stickers I handed out at São Bloc ‘25.

This year, I can’t wait to be a part of the action! Come visit the CG booth on Day 1 of the comp (24 Oct) to check out what I’ve been making. And one lucky sorteio winner will go home with free merch 🎉

Thank you to @saorockclimbing for helping spread and support the local Portuguese climbing community 🫶

See you at the comp, gremlins! by @craggremlin

• CLIMBING ROPE BELTS • The next installment in the 🪢 Retired Rope Collection 🪢

🧗‍♂️Each belt is made from a climbing rope that has seen countless crags and innumerable sends, which means that not only are you saving used gear from going to waste, you’re also getting a belt with a story.

💪 All the fastenings are metal, giving longer-lasting durability than dumb old plastic, and there are plenty of buckle types to choose from depending on your taste!

I hate ugly burnt rope ends and sloppy sewing, so I took care of all the little details so that this belt will look dope as hell no matter where you wear it.

🫶Thank you to @danielcouto97 and @sempreagarrado for donating part of this first batch of ropes 🫶

If you’d like to donate your ropes or any other old climbing gear, comment below or send a DM. I’ll cover shipping costs if you’re not local, and you’ll receive 50% off any item from Crag Gremlin 🔥

See you at the crag, gremlins!

• THE HOLY TRINITY OF GRIPS •

The rock is a crag gremlin’s religion, and our grip styles are how we pray. This design pays homage to the crimps, hand jams, monos, and more that bring us closer to the rock.

Price: 28

🖤 BELAYED & BELOVED 🤍 in a lightweight, breezy tank top for those sweaty training sessions? Sounds too good to be true, but alas, it’s not.

This one’s for all the lovers and the climbers, whether you’re in a committed belaytionship, nervous about your gym crush, or using climbing as a way to get over heartbreak. Originally debuted at @ratonar.fest (saudades) and modeled by @ana.raque.l (máquina) and @rebbit_99 (bicho), it’s become a fan favorite ;)

*Note: the top is full-length. The cropped pink tank in the third was a test version :)

Check it out at craggremlin.com or send me a DM to get your very own 💪

• SIPPING & SENDING • is back and better than ever in two colors: aloe and white.

☕️ There’s nothing better than sipping coffee and sending (or trying to send) your project. Maybe you brought the coffee with you on your approach, or maybe someone’s set up a camp stove to make it fresh. Either way, there’s nothing quite as sacred as a coffee break between attempts, and that’s what inspired this design.

🧗This was the first design I ever put to paper, and now I’m proud to be printing it myself! Grab your favorite version at craggremlin.com or click the link in the bio 🔗 or, if you’re local, send me a message so we can meet up!

Obrigada aos modelos lindos, @rebbit_99 (aloe) e @pedro_cavaco_ (white). You guys are naturals. Someone should pay you.

• EXPRESSO / COFFEE & QUICKDRAWS • Are you sensing a theme?

PT: O café é o sustento do escalador. Na rocha, no rocódromo, no campismo, estamos sempre a beber este líquido dos deuses. Então, beba o expresso, clipa os expressos, e desfruta deste desenho ☕️🧗

EN: Coffee is a climber’s fuel. At the crag, at the climbing gym, and at the campsite, were always drinking this liquid of the gods. So, chug your coffee, clip those quickdraws, and enjoy this design ☕️⛰️

Expresso and expressos…get it? I’m so funny, wow. (Please tell me I made a good trocadilho 🥹👉👈)

Thank you to my beautiful, strong, funny and fun models:

The 🖤 BELAYED AND BELOVED 🤍 design is back- this time in crop top form.

🧗‍♂️There’s a lot of love involved in climbing, whether it’s for your belaytionship, that moonboard cutie you’ve been crushing on, or for the rock itself. This design is a love letter to all of it!

Grab your favorite version- black or light pink- at craggremlin.com or the link in the bio 🔗 Or, if you’re local, message me directly so you can avoid shipping costs!

🪢 The belts worn in these photos are also Crag Gremlin creations, made from retired climbing ropes. Check them out on the site, as well 🤙

• CLIMBING HOLD EARRINGS • Have you ever wanted to put a climbing hold on your ear? Probably not. But either way, now you can!

You might recognise @_liviavico and @__martae_ from the original launch of BELAYED & BELOVED, and because they’re such cutie patooties with beautiful ears, of course they had to model for me again.

I make each pair by hand out of polymer clay, with a zinc alloy “bolt” and stainless steel backs to make sure that they’re sturdy and won’t turn your ears green. Because they’re made by hand, each earring is completely unique.

Get a matching pair, or mix them up like Livia and Marta 😌

Check them out at craggremlin.com or by clicking the link in the bio 🔗 or send me a message if you’re local!

🪢 Welcome to the Retired Rope Collection 🪢where I take climbing ropes at the ends of their lives and upcycle them into something new, cool, and useful!

Up first is the keychain, adorned with a miniature clay climbing hold. @manuel_february_ chose the red and blue model, which is made from two different ropes that have been used all over Portugal and Spain 🇵🇹🇪🇸 to quote him, “Now my keys look so beautiful, I love it!” -and he’s a very trustworthy person 👀

Grab one on craggremlin.com or by visiting the link in the bio 🔗 Or if you’re local, message me directly to avoid shipping costs!

If you have old rope, slackline webbing, or any other retired climbing material that’s no longer suitable for climbing, why not donate it so that I can give it a second life? Send me a message and I will cover shipping costs and send you a discount code that can be used on any craggremlin item :)

See you at the crag, gremlins 💪🔥
