Climbing brands that use influencers

Rúngne leads climbing on YouTube. Its code or link is in 278 videos on 19 climbing channels since February 2023. Unparallel has 189, CLEVO 187 and Frictitious 171, and three of the top five lean on one channel, Richardsons Climbing.

The climbing brands with the most videos

Each count is a video whose YouTube description has a line naming the brand with a code, a discount, a sponsor or partner note, or a link to the brand. We read the 7,669 videos we hold from 81 climbing channels, every year to November 8, 2026.

The table stops at 60 videos. Software and watch brands such as Squarespace and COROS are left out, and so is the brand's own channel.

One small channel carries three of the top five

Richardsons Climbing has 33,800 subscribers and 221 videos in our data. 206 carry one of four brands, and 166 carry three or more.

  1. Unparallel in 184 videos
  2. CLEVO in 182, with the code RICHARDSONSCLIMBING in 160
  3. Climber's Rock in 161, the last in January 2026
  4. Inks by Wynn in 26, all since April 2026

Two channels list a block of brands

The Struggle Climbing Show has 27,800 subscribers and 219 videos in our data. 163 carry one of nine climbing brands, and 55 carry two or more: Rúngne 79, PhysiVantage 61, SCARPA 24, ForceBoard 20, Intentional Climber 17, Kilter 12, Rab 8, Rhino Skin Solutions 6 and Nature Climbing 6.

Hooper's Beta has 158,000 subscribers and 84 videos in our data. 75 carry a block of five brands: The Wall Climbing Gym 74, Frictitious 62, KAYA 62, Tindeq 60 and Rhino Skin Solutions 38. Frictitious and Tindeq both use the code hoopersbeta.

Rúngne gives its biggest channels a code each

  1. The Struggle Climbing Show, 79 videos, code STRUGGLE in 78
  2. Climbing Stuff, 29 videos, code DYNO in 21
  3. Eric Karlsson, 24 videos, code EKB in 21
  4. More Magnus, 23 videos, code MAGNUS in 15
  5. Emil Abrahamsson, 22 videos, code EMIL in 20

Smaller brands stay on one channel. Dark Ventures has 61 of its 71 on Bouldering Bobat with the code bobat25, Awesome Woodys all 44 on Tom O'Halloran with BAFFLEDAYS, and Kinetik all 33 on BadWater Bouldering with badwater.

Frictitious runs an offer with no code

37 Frictitious videos on 8 channels carry that line. Geek Climber, with 315,000 subscribers, does the opposite: all 51 videos we hold list Frictitious with the coupon code GEEKCLIMBER.

What a climbing brand can take from this

  • Start with one channel your buyers already trust. 79 of Rúngne's 278 videos sit on one podcast.
  • Give every channel its own code, as Rúngne does with STRUGGLE, DYNO and EMIL, so you see what each one sells.
  • Put a separate link on each channel when an offer has no code. Frictitious has 37 videos with no promo code to count.
  • Read the last date before you copy a brand's list. The Climbing Hangar has 51 videos and 1 in the last 12 months.
  • Ask for the word sponsor in the description, as The Struggle does for PhysiVantage.
