Klättermusen ABC Book

The Klättermusen ABC 50-year anniversary book is not a history in the traditional sense. It’s a kaleidoscope of stories, images, and voices from half a century of climbing, mountaineering, design experiments, and gear obsession. From the first “pysselkvällar”—craft nights in the 1970s—to the mountains of Sarek, Senja, and Svalbard, it captures the spirit that shaped Klättermusen: curiosity, stubbornness, and a refusal to follow the obvious path. True to that spirit, the book itself is a piece of gear. Hand-bound with a woven cloth cover and embossed details, it combines different paper qualities for texture and rhythm. A Klättermusen strap serves as the bookmark—made from the same material used in our gear. Inside, you’ll find oral histories, photographs, naked truths, and iconic products. Climbers, designers, gear testers, and friends share their perspectives, sometimes candid, sometimes poetic, always true. Like our gear, the book is designed to last—an artifact of fifty years past, and fifty more to come.
