Pinnacle Project

Inspiring rebels of all sorts to reach new heights.

Brief
Make exploration relevant to young, city-dwelling consumers by colliding the mountain and urban side of the brand.

Concept
Pinnacle Project: a series of music-led experiences

Whether you are in a city or surrounded by the great outdoors, the spirit of exploration – and the feeling of achievement when you reach your goal – is the same. The North Face Pinnacle Project was born: a series of music-led experiences, events and activations uniting the spirit of athletic endeavor with creative discovery – spanning Europe from the Italian Dolomites with the opening of the most iconic mountain pop-up ever seen, to Berlin, to Manchester. Inspiring rebels of all sorts to reach new heights.
