Company Overview

A. Why is the company called The North Face?

In the Northern Hemisphere, the north face of a mountain is generally the coldest, iciest and most formidable route to climb. Our founders thought this name reflected our mission and dedication to the extreme.

B. What does The North Face logo represent?

The North Face logo was inspired by the Half Dome in Yosemite, revered as one of the greatest big walls in the world. Our logo was created as our interpretation of this great wall.

C. What does A5 in the name A5 Series mean?

The "A" in A5 is an abbreviation for the term Aid Climbing. Aid climbing is defined as the use of mechanical devices placed in rock to assist in upward movement. A5 is the most difficult climbing rating suggesting that extreme aid is necessary. On a climb with an A5 rating, nothing is trustworthy of catching a fall for an entire pitch, or the length of one rope. This most difficult rating is reserved only for pitches with no bolts or rivets (holes) for the entire pitch. Examples: pitches on the Jolly Roger and the Wyoming Sheep Ranch on El Capitan in Yosemite, CA; Jim Beyer routes in Arches National Park, and the Fisher Towers, UT.
