Thorongla
Kaemp 8848 products always have names that describe their intended use. Thorung-La is a pass in the Annapurna region. It's the spectacular climax of many week-long treks through Nepal. Whether you're climbing through exposed rock faces or eyeing the final meters of the 5,416-meter-high pass, the Thorungla will faithfully accompany you on every lead climb, rock climbing, and long trail runs.
From Nepal to the world against exploitative global trade
KAEMP 8848 gear is not only high-quality, but also fairly traded globally. For a company that originates from Nepal and develops its products in the Himalayas, the preservation of the mountains and the people who live at their foot is paramount. Fair trade here means not only that workers in Kathmandu are paid fairly, but also that the company itself is based in Nepal, thus representing a counterbalance to the existing power dynamics in trade from the global South to the global North.
