Outdoor Prolink Now Available For All CWA Members

Pdf Summary

This article announces that Outdoor Prolink pro deals, deep discounts on outdoor gear, are now available to all US and Canadian CWA members as a membership benefit. The framing celebrates the industry's workers: CWA members work hard and play hard, putting in long hours working at height, setting routes, and sharing their love of climbing, and the article argues they deserve the best gear and a sweet discount on it. Outdoor Prolink is described as a one-stop shop offering discounts up to 50% off MSRP every day, a pro-deal program through which brands reward industry professionals for repping their gear. The key news is expanded access. For the first time, all US and Canadian-based CWA members are automatically pre-qualified for Outdoor Prolink pro deals and receive a free membership as part of their CWA membership. Then-Executive Director Paula Horwitz expresses excitement about increasing access to the program for all members, specifically highlighting that Canadian members now get access in addition to US members, an expansion beyond the previous reach. The article explains the streamlined process: the CWA redesigned how members access their exclusive Outdoor Prolink site, and members can complete the application once logged in via the Member Compass, selecting the appropriate country option. The throughline is that the CWA is delivering tangible, everyday value to its members through this partnership. Beyond the association's advocacy, standards, and education work, this benefit puts real money back in members' pockets on the gear they use professionally and personally. The expansion to all US and Canadian members, with automatic pre-qualification and free Outdoor Prolink membership, removes friction and broadens a genuinely useful perk. For members, it's a concrete reminder that CWA membership carries practical financial benefits, and for the CWA, it's a way to reward the professionals who make up the industry with deep discounts on the gear they've earned the right to enjoy.
