About Us
Redpoint Climbing, Coffee & Taps was born from a love of climbing culture and community. Founded in 1986, it started as a specialty retail shop offering high-quality climbing gear, expert advice, and a curated selection of products for climbers of all levels. But Redpoint is more than just a gear shop—it's a space to gather. With a cozy coffee bar and local beers on tap, it invites climbers to hang out, swap stories, and connect before or after adventures. Over time, Redpoint has become a trusted cornerstone of the local climbing scene, blending retail, refreshments, and community in one welcoming space.
About the Owners
The owners of Redpoint Climbing, Coffee & Taps, Dustin and Amy, have climbed at Smith Rock for over 20 years, are outdoor enthusiasts, and passionate community builders. With deep roots in the climbing community and a shared vision for creating more than just a retail space, they set out to build a place that reflects the spirit of the climbing community—authentic, welcoming, and adventure-driven. Drawing on their combined experience in climbing, business, and hospitality, they carefully crafted Redpoint to be a space where people can find expert gear, great coffee and beer, and genuine connection. Their hands-on approach and love for the sport are felt in every detail—from the gear on the shelves to the vibe of the taproom. At its core, Redpoint is a reflection of their belief that climbing is about more than just the rock—it's about the people you share it with.
