While in Michigan for a Summer, Lauren Kolb, Owner + Creator of MTN DOG T-Shirt Co., received a link from a dear friend detailing a t-shirt competition hosted by a climbing and environmental advocacy non-profit organization. She submitted what later evolved into our first product being the MOUNT RAINIER Tee. This experience ignited a new outlet for design creativity through digital drawing and expressing the joy found in Creation and climbing. Weeks later and after returning home to Greenville, SC, she started MTN DOG T-Shirt Co. on a whim and has reached a growing community of climbers + animal lovers. Her family’s Bernese Mountain Dog, Lincoln, was a notable inspiration and is the beloved mug of this brand.

In July 2023, we began selling MTN DOG T-Shirt Co. at BlocHaven, a bouldering gym located in Greenville, SC. We are psyched to continue growing this community in + beyond the southeast.
