Who We Are: Beyond the Chalk Dust
We are Bergium: a dedicated team of climbers, writers, and route-setters who share a deep, slightly obsessive love for everything climbing and bouldering. We’re the folks who spend too much time researching the difference between chalk brands and debating the best recovery stretches.
But mostly, we are climbers who remember being beginners.
We remember the frustration of waking up with mysterious muscle pain, the confusion over choosing our first pair of shoes, and the intimidation of stepping into a crowded gym. We realized that while there’s a ton of information out there, finding clear, unbiased, and genuinely helpful advice without the jargon was a route problem in itself.
That’s why Bergium exists.
Our Mission: Climb Confidently
The goal of Bergium is simple: To be the resource we wished we had when we first started climbing.
We don’t believe climbing should be intimidating or exclusive. We are here to cut through the jargon and provide you with expert, practical, and highly researched guides on:
- Gear: Choosing the perfect pair of shoes, finding the right chalk, and understanding essential maintenance.
- Technique: Breaking down complex movements into manageable steps.
- Training & Recovery: Safe strength building and practical tips for maximizing rest and minimizing those inevitable aches.
We want you to spend less time Googling confusing terms and more time on the wall, climbing with confidence and knowledge.
