Introducing ClimbClips.com
ClimbClips.com is a new website made by, and for, climbers. ClimbClips is an online climbing video community and social media website. Our goal is to become the number one place to upload, share, talk about and watch climbing related video. The website is in it's infancy, having just launched two months ago. We at ClimbClips look forward to growing with the climbing community!
Why?
Video specific content on the internet is booming like never before.
With You-Tube being the clear dominator of online video, in many ways it's far too large. In it's shadow, there is room for content specific niche sites to thrive. Made by and for climbers of any type, (Rock Climbers, Mountaineers, Ice Climbers etc..) ClimbClips provides a 'video clubhouse' to shelter and support the engaging and traditionally tight-knit world of climbing.
Who?
Anyone can use Climbclips. Of course we want to keep the focus on actual
climbing but aside from that anything goes! Did you just climb your
first 5.9? Get some video of a flash on a hard project? Take you camera
up in the mountains? Share it all! That's what it's all about. A note to
professional climbing video producers, feel free to upload your movie
trailers or promotional material. Your media will be reaching a targeted
audience. Climbclips should be a powerful promotional tool for the
industry in that regard. Options such as reserving the front page for
your media may be available in the future.
