Sport Climbing Reimagined



Muddleground, or The Muddleground Collective, is a self-established page, featuring a collection of art illustrations that aim to redefine the image of sport climbing. It is later developed into a streetwear and apparel brand in Singapore, fusing streetwear into the sport climbing industry.

In the field of design, graphical illustrations that bind the image of sports are portrayed to be powerful to evoke that sense of athletism that is tied to it. However, the variety of new sports introduced today has culminated a different image. The international climbing scene has been gaining traction in the last few years. Yet, many people still seem to associate it as a highly-deterring burly sport, especially with the inclusion of sport climbing in the 2021 Olympics. This collection aims to strip down this notion and deconstruct the image of sport-climbing.
