Inner Mountain Outfitters

Inner Mountain Outfitters (IMO) was born out of a passion for adventure gear.<br />
<br />
IMO’s original founder, Alex Sproul, traveled the world and brought back regional wear and gear previously unavailable to the US. Established in 1984 in Virginia, IMO brought the idea of dedicated caving gear to the US caving and high-angle rescue markets.<br />
<br />
In 2006, IMO moved to Georgia and ownership passed to Nina and Jeff Martin. The Martin’s are no strangers to the sport of caving, having been active members of the NSS and Dogwood City Grotto (DCG) for more than 14 years when they bought IMO.<br />
<br />
Since 2006, IMO has continued to push the sport of caving and, more recently, encouraging adoption of Rope Access within the US. Their participation in SPRAT and first-hand knowledge of the needs of SPRAT trained technicians has catapulted IMO to one of the largest distributors of rope access gear and equipment.
