Cold Ember

Cold Ember is an impact-driven expedition platform that combines physical challenge, storytelling, and social purpose. We travel to the world’s most striking, yet overlooked places. Not just to experience them, but to reveal the hidden stories behind them. Our first mission: a Kilimanjaro expedition in the role of porter, highlighting inequality in mountain tourism, giving back with donated gear, and capturing it all in a powerful origin documentary. We collaborate with mission-aligned brands like Merrell and Cortazu and creators to turn each expedition into something that leaves the world just a little better than we found it.
