The Arc'teryx Alpine Academy will take place in Chamonix Mont Blanc from July 2-5, 2020.

Built to last. Built to upcycle.

Workshop tickets on sale now. Be sure to also register for the free Community Climb Day.

Arc’teryx ReBIRD, alongside our very own Arc'teryx designers, and Ambassador Nicole McLaughlin bring you hands on upcycling workshops and circularity inspiration. The workshops will give guests an opportunity to create an upcycled chalk bag or pouch using end-of-the-roll and “worn beyond optimum” materials sourced from our Arc’One manufacturing facility.

To wrap up the weekend, we invite you to a community climbing day at the Horseflats in Los Angeles. Bring your new chalk bag from the workshops and put your design to the test.

What is Arc'teryx ReBird?

ReBIRD is designed for circularity – the home for all Arc’teryx initiatives in care and repair, resale and upcycling. We are designing for the future we hope to inhabit, where nothing is left to waste.
