Chimp-Belay has been working with leading primatologists to train chimpanzees to act as safety partners for climbers, much as guide dogs do for the blind. These service animals provide a safe alternative to both roped solo, and un-roped solo (free solo) climbing.
Comfortable with tools
Able to learn and teach each other to use tools, chimpanzee are perfectly adapted to understand how to safely use climbing equipment.
Not just comfortable with but joyful when climbing
Chimpanzee are not just willing to climb but urge their handlers to go climbing. Their love and joy of the experience will enhance your own.
Caring and attentive
The social nature of the chimpanzee make them idea for human animal partnership. They will care for you as much as you care for them.
