Fixe pitons

- From the Fixe climbing website:
Fixe was founded in 1983 in a place surrounded by mountains and premier climbing zones like Montserrat, Terradets and Siurana. It quickly became a leading brand among the climbing community, and its products are currently known worldwide.
After nearly 30 years, in 2011, Fixe joined forces with Faders, giving rise to the Tech Rock group. Some months later, it joined Alien Cams and later, in 2012, the prestigious Roca rope brand. Fixe re-established itself as the industry leader in Spain and started a new competition line in the international market.
Based in Sant Quirze de Besora, a few kilometres from Barcelona, in 2014 Fixe was completely restructured, with a new management team at the helm. Since then, the company’s growth has been constant, and its prestige has steadily increased. In 2018, Fixe changed the Tech Rock name and returned to its roots, recovering its original name and adopting a more global orientation: Fixe Climbing.

- From the Fixe Hardware website:
Fixe Hardware was established in 1992 to deliver anchoring products designed specifically for rock climbing. Our products are manufactured in Spain using certified materials and passing the CE / UIAA certification process for quality and safety. Our product designs are based on the needs of the indoor and outdoor climbing community, construction and industrial markets, rigging and rope access professionals.
Fixe Hardware is a company run by rock climbers. The initial concept for the company took place while climbing the Lotus Flower Tower in Canada’s Cirque of the Unclimables in 1992. Over dinner with some neighboring Spanish climbers in the Cirques Fairy Meadows I introduced the idea of introducing this high quality product to the US market. A few months later my new Spanish partner and I shook hands at my father’s dining room table in Huntington Beach California and Fixe Hardware was in business. The first orders were shipped to customers from my father’s garage. "Kevin Daniels"

Many of the Fixe pitons showing were donated to the museum in the 1990s by Kevin Daniels.
