Who are we? Just another Climbing Instruction business... That's where your mistaken - TuFa. has been created out of a passion for providing high quality instruction within the outdoor environment. This is the beginning of a journey on gaining qualifications within climbing & mountaineering instruction. However, TuFa. is also start up clothing brand... Whaaaa crazy right! We aim to push boundaries with sustainable, outdoor clothing with a focus in all outdoor pursuits, bringing urban trends to the wild. TuFa. is here to inspire and promote change to fast fashion; with highly durable, organic fabrics, small stock quantities and a carbon neutral footprint.

Deep dive into the past - The origins of TuFa started in 2015, a pencil dream, nestled deep within the pages of a travelling diary. Since the beginning, the idea has been figuring out how to train and work in the climbing and mountaineering industry. Within all the chaos of organising and funding this, a small side hustle was created... TuFa.clothing minimalistic outdoor clothing, which can be used in all environments, from mountains to city's, whilst being as planet friendly as possible. It wasn't until Ollie met co-founder (life partner and all round climbing badass) Felicity, that the dream was able to become a reality. With our passions for the great outdoors and plant based living colliding, TuFa was born. 

 

Currently Ollie is qualified as a Rock climbing Instructor (RCI) & working towards Mountain Leader (ML). With a drive to gain Mountaineering &  Climbing Instructor (MCI), all of which through Mountain Training UK
