First Ascent has been around since 1989 and has since become associated with world-class design and quality. The brand was established by Charl Gold who has a lifetime of passion and experience in the outdoor industry and was taken over by his son Andrew. The brand was bought by Moresport in 2007 with the launch of its Performance Brands Division and for the first time a Gold family member was not at the helm of the First Ascent empire.

The iconic First Ascent logo and lizard represents South Africa’s unique and dynamic heritage that has inspired the brand since their inception over thirty years ago.
