Stoves, tents, water filters and snowshoes, repaired in Seattle
Larry Penberthy founded Mountain Safety Research in Seattle in 1969 to make climbing gear safer. Cascade Designs bought it in 2001; many products are still built a floor below the design office, and a full-time repair shop keeps old stoves and filters in service.
