Who Is Behind All This

If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind all this, it’s me — Dr. Chubby (or D. Rich, if you know me in real life). Fat Men Can’t Climb started as my Instagram climbing page, named after my go-to excuse whenever I’d peel off a wall. But scroll through and you’ll see more sends than fails — the name is really just sarcastic humor. One day I thought: what if I turned that same humor into climbing clothes made for real people, including us plus-sized climbers? Well I did exactly that but, instead made it for everyone. And that’s how this store was born. Everything you see here comes from my ideas and vision. I sometimes use AI tools to help mock up designs, but the creativity is all mine. If you’ve got ideas for new gear, hit that chat bubble and let me know — I’d love to hear from you.
