ABOUT PSYCHI


We are an independent company based on the edge of the Peak District. We're keen climbers and outdoor enthusiasts and are focused on making climbing as inclusive and sustainable as possible. We don’t believe there should be any limiting factors in allowing anyone to experience the joys of climbing, so we try to keep our prices affordable without scrimping on quality.

SUSTAINABILITY


We care deeply about the state of our environment. As a business, we are committed to operating in a way that causes the least detrimental impact on the big blue playground we call home. We plant a tree for every order placed on our website, and we offset the CO2 for us and all our athletes. This funds climate-positive initiatives all over the world opperating sustainably if at the forefront of what we do. Find out more here.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT


We also love to nurture talent by using a chunk of our profits to sponsor athletes on the British Team and Para Climbing Team. We provide them with equipment and travel funds to compete all over the world! Find out more about our team here.

What’s your role at Psychi?

Head Honcho & Outdoor Instructor

When you’re not at Psychi HQ, how do you spend your spare time?

You’ll usually find me out climbing, on the road bike or fell-running - mostly in the Peak District and always followed by a pint in the pub.

What’s your favourite part of working at Psychi?

It’s great to have seen Psychi grow into an established UK brand from my first box of chalk balls back in 2013. Having my passion and work combined has always been the dream and working with like minded friends makes it even better!

Favourite piece of Psychi gear?

Our bouldering pads! They’re hardwearing and make the perfect landing for the training board at Psychi HQ!

What DO most people NOT know about you?

I’ve summited Mont Blanc 3 times, run an Ultra Marathon and walked to the most remote pub in the UK.

What’s on your bucket list?

To run the Cape Wrath Ultra Marathon, complete the Arctic Trail in Greenland and to climb ‘Masters Edge’.

What’s your role at Psychi?

I do all our design stuff for products and marketing material and keep the website up to date. I also keep busy in the warehouse if I've been at my desk for too long.

When you’re not at Psychi HQ, how do you spend your spare time?

Depending on whether I'm in a healthy or a party mood, I'll either be running in the Peak District, cycling, in a pub and/or watching live music.

What’s your favourite part of working at Psychi?

I think my favourite part of working at Psychi would have to be the Psychi Festivals. It’s just great to get out and see people climbing and enjoying themselves!

Favourite piece of Psychi gear?

Definitely our big Duffle Bag - it’s bomb proof and I can fit most of my possessions in it.

What DO most people NOT know about you?

I like to get out into nature and forage for free food. I’ve also been known to DJ whenever anyone will let me.

What’s on your bucket list?

To run the Mongolia 100 Mile Race and the Cape Wrath Ultra.
