Knotty Paw

End of May. No agenda. No miles to hit.
Just a long look forward … to a summer of walks and wags.

May evenings stretch out a little longer; long enough to stop, sit, and just admire the view. Our little buddy found the best seat in the field. We’re not arguing.

Giving retired climbing ropes a second life 🐾♻️
Had an awesome time at the CWA event connecting with people who care about sustainability, adventure, and their dogs.

Every Knotty Paw leash has a story — and now it gets to be part of yours.

Every leash tells a story. We partner with climbing gyms across the country to rescue rope that’s done its job on the wall — and give it a second life keeping your pup safe. At the CWA Summit Apr 15 - 16 2026, we’re celebrating the climbers, the gyms, and the adventure-tested gear that makes it possible.

From gym walls to quiet trails, every rope carries a story—and a community behind it.

What once supported climbers now walks alongside dogs, connecting two worlds that share the same spirit of adventure.

That’s what Knotty Paw is really about: keeping those stories going. 🐾

A quiet moment at the end of the month.
No rush. No goals. Just being here together.
(And a little gratitude for the communities that make it possible.)

Meet Maple 🐾.
Adventure pup, mountain lover, and part of the Cirque Climbing community in Lacey, WA.
This is what our partners inspire - more time outside, together.

Join us in reducing waste, supporting local artistry, and making a difference, one leash at a time. We create dog leashes from up-cycled climbing and safety rope.

Once, it kept climbers safe. Now, it keeps someone close.
