Five Years Of First Ascent

We set out five years ago with a mission: draw on our brand’s heritage of technical innovation and alpine exploration to launch Eddie Bauer First Ascent. We enlisted a first-class team of guides to build gear from scratch, and then test it in the planet’s harshest environments. The results speak for themselves. 13 industry best-in-class awards, 53 pioneering testing expeditions, and innovative gear that has enabled adventures around the globe.
