Mountain Hardwear continues to partner with elite athletes in the world of extreme sports. These professionals constantly push their limits, inspiring others through their dedication and passion. At the same time, they provide valuable feedback to product designers, helping to refine gear that is lighter, more functional, and better suited for extreme conditions.
Liv Sansoz is one of the most accomplished climbers in the world. With two World Championship titles and three overall World Cup victories, she has proven herself as a top competitor. She is also the second woman to successfully complete an 8c/c+ (5.14b/c) route, a feat that only a handful of climbers have achieved globally. This level of difficulty is extremely rare, even among elite male climbers in the U.S.
Born in the French Alps, Liv started skiing at just two years old. Her early exposure to the mountains shaped her into a lifelong adventurer. From rock climbing to alpine routes, she's always been drawn to the outdoors. Today, she still tackles challenging sport climbs and boulders, but she’s also deeply passionate about alpine climbing, where she can experience nature in its purest form.
She loves traveling the world to explore new climbing destinations, meeting local cultures, and discovering unique rock formations. Whether it's scaling a dramatic cliff face or simply soaking in the beauty of a mountain range, Liv finds inspiration in every climb.
Her impressive climbing resume includes over 50 international podium finishes, along with some of the most iconic routes in the world:
