Where it All Started
Long before it was a well-known brand, Mountain Designs was just one man operating out of a suitcase that he kept under a sofa.
As a young climber, Rick White had a dream – to provide quality goods to adventurers like himself. Starting as a specialist climbing retailer, he spent many years growing his business in Brisbane, serving a miniscule market of climbers and bushwalkers.
In 1975 Rick launched the company now known as Mountain Designs to meet the needs of the burgeoning mountaineering community. His passion for providing high quality goods could only be matched by his appetite for adventure – an adventurist attitude and visionary spirit that is still highly regarded among climbers today.
It is this 'heritage born of the mountains' philosophy that has been the heart and soul of Mountain Designs for the past 40 years.
