About Us

  • In 2022, being new to the Bay Area, Kaylee and I decided to join the local climbing gym.

  • Having no friends in the area really, we had no idea the impact that membership would have.

  • Now we are part of such a warm community of amazing and fun people, and we wanted to create a brand that exemplifies that for any who wear the Stone River Climbing Brand.

  • My Grandpa Ishikawa has always been one of my biggest heroes, and I wanted to pay homage to him by naming the brand after him (Ishikawa translates to 'Stone River')

  • He taught me about hard work, how to enjoy life, and importance of family. This is what Japanese heritage and culture is, and those same values we strive to bring with Stone River Climbing Co.

At Stone River, the focus is on people, stories, and a shared sense of purpose. It's about celebrating the journey and the relationships forged on the path to the summit.

  • So, as you wear your Stone River gear and embark on your climbing adventures, remember that you're not just part of a brand; you're part of a legacy, a culture, and a community that transcends borders and unites people in the pursuit of their passions.
