At MONOPKT, we make climbing fun!
MONOPKT was founded by Jackelyn Ho and Nick Smith. They met at Planet Granite in Sunnyvale, CA during the summer of 2016 and quickly became partners in both climbing and in life. The two moved to Los Angeles, CA in 2017 and as of 2022, now reside in Fort Collins, CO. Jackelyn is also a fitness professional and Nick is a mechanical engineer.
When they’re not working or training, they’re most likely on a climbing trip, jamming their fingers, elbows, hands, toes, and nose into obscure cracks for some serious type 2 fun.
Pronounced as "mono-pocket", this is a climbing hold in which you can only fit one finger.
monopkt. was founded on the idea that climbing should be equal parts challenging and fun. We spent many-a-day at the crag wincing over lost skin, trembling between bolts, and panicking at the top out on a high ball boulder. In between these hard and growing moments were always happy ones, filled with silly jokes and the best of friends. This dramatic rollercoaster is the exact reason we climb.
We wanted our gear to capture those moments. Our goal is to inspire climbers and outdoor enthusiasts to push harder, climb higher, and send the impossible... and have fun doing it all;)
