About BCI Merch: Wear The Vibe

When you pick up one of our 'ALLEZ!' tees, you're not just grabbing a shirt, you're directly funding the stainless steel hardware we drill into our local crags at Ramanagara and Gethnaa. We’ve designed these with a heavyweight 180-200 GSM cotton blend that holds up against rock abrasion, so you can wear them while climbing without worrying about the fabric tearing. It’s gear that gives back, literally.

Our merch is not mass-produced apparel. It is a statement about our commitment to the Bangalore climbing scene.

The Design Story

Every year, we collaborate with local artists like Soumya Sahoo (@grasspirits) to capture the psyche of our community. This year’s 'ALLEZ!' design, a rallying cry we use on the crag, celebrates the idea of 'everyone uplifting everyone.' It is about that specific energy you feel when someone is cheering for you as you reach for the next hold.

Why It Matters

We are a non-profit collective. Around 50% of the price of every t-shirt goes directly into buying marine-grade stainless steel bolts. Since we started, we have helped add over 400 routes to the local landscape. When you buy this, you are helping us open more crags and keep the existing ones safe for everyone.

Built for the Crag

We don't do flimsy fabrics. These tees are heavyweight (180-200 GSM) cotton or cotton-poly blends. They are designed to survive contact with jagged rock surfaces and constant movement. Whether you are belaying, bouldering, or just grabbing coffee with the crew, they are built to last.

Grab one, show your support, and keep the psych alive. Aale aale!
