Space Acacia XL

Space Acacia

The Acacia Outdoor Space Acacia Syetem is the ultimate modern indoor comfort in the great outdoors. You can feel at home anywhere with the very first 3-in-1, portable, modern outdoor dwelling system. Space Acacia provides comfortable living space outdoors, whether you’re base camping in the backcountry, having a beach day, or just enjoying the summer breeze in your own backyard.

The Space Acacia consists of a spacious, modern glamping tent, the first-of-its-kind proprietary air floor, and an innovative, temperature-adjusting canopy. All three thoughtfully designed components work in harmony to enable you to live an indoor lifestyle outdoors.

The heavy-duty 4-ply air floor is designed to the same specifications as expedition-grade inflatable kayaks and SUPs made to withstand rocks and rugged terrain. With a PU2000 waterproof coating, the floor always stays clean and dry.

Escape Climbing

Escape Climbing creates Climbing Holds that Inspire, Hardware that Lasts, and Training Tools that Work. Whether you need amazing climbing holds, hardware at a great price, or training tools to get strong, Escape Climbing has what you need.

Training Rings

The Training Rings are a powerful training tool to get you climbing stronger by training the core, shoulders, and chest – as well as stability and body tension – leading to better overall conditioning.

Angel Dust Chalk

Angel Dust is their specially formulated chalk, designed to keep your hands dry and improve your grip on the rock. Whether you’re tackling a challenging route or just trying to hold on through a tough workout, Angel Dust has you covered. The fine, dust-like consistency ensures that you get maximum coverage with minimal mess, and the resealable bag makes it easy to take your chalk with you wherever you go.

Escape Liquid Chalk

As climbing gyms move towards reopening, we continue to take precautions to minimize the spread of COVID-19. At Escape Climbing, we are looking for innovative ways that we can help you create a safe environment for your customers. While liquid chalk does not take the place of a Hand Sanitizer, we formulated our liquid chalk to give it the best likelihood of improving hand hygiene. Our liquid chalk contains greater than 60% alcohol by volume.

T-Rex Dry Tools

The more time you can get on the wall, the better climber you become. That is why we designed these innovative indoor ice-climbing tools to help you push your climbing to the next level! Strong where it’s needed and comfortable where it matters, the T-Rex Ice tools are made to get on any climbing wall without hurting the holds.

Dry Tool Picks

The first hold-friendly picks that are specifically designed for your technical ice tools. Manufactured with a Stealth Rubber base to keep the highest friction and control during dry tooling. They install just like a replacement pick. Steel spine, plastic body, and a stealth rubber bottom for grip. Sold in sets of 2 picks.

Senders Salve

The first in Escape Climbing’s series of essential products for climber’s skincare, this post-climb hand treatment is made to promote good skin health when used as a regular part of your climbing routine. Chalk use, repetitive strain, and the abrasive nature of climbing surfaces all do a number on your skin. And dry, unhealthy skin loses its elasticity and is more likely to tear under the hard use climbers put it through – quite literally, wear and tear.

A Dozen Cousins

“Growing up, our kitchen was a delicious melting pot of Creole, Caribbean, and Latin American cooking. As I got older and learned the importance of eating naturally, I hated that it was so hard to find convenient foods that were both healthy and authentic. I started A Dozen Cousins so that it would be easier to enjoy authentic cultural recipes made with wholesome ingredients.”

Six kinds of Seasoned Bean: Cuban Black Beans, Mexican Cowboy Pinto Beans, Trini Chickpea Curry, Refried Pinto Beans, Refried Black Beans, and Creole Red Beans.

Three kinds of Rice Cooked in Bone Broth: Sea Salt Rice, Classic Broth Rice, and Spanish Yellow Rice.
