Why We Founded Futurist Climbing
Futurist Climbing was incorporated in 2009 to serve the influx of requests for independent consulting and climbing wall design services. Additionally, the Futurist team spent several years researching and developing high performance custom bouldering flooring systems that outperform and outlast all other surfaces available. We’ve since expanded our flooring product line to include surfaces for roped climbing areas and functional training spaces. We continue to develop and improve our offerings in each of these product categories and we back our systems with the longest warranties and best ongoing customer support in the industry. Futurist Climbing is owned and operated by Timy Fairfield, Founder/President and Brandi Proffitt, CFO/Business Manager.
