Our Story

ClimbLab was founded in 2019 by two long-time climbers and engineers. The idea for the company began at a gym one day when Morten noticed that pressure washing climbing holds was both time-consuming and a waste of water. He realized there had to be a more efficient solution.

In our first year, we developed and tested our inaugural product - an ultrasonic cleaner for Euro crates. By 2020, we started exploring electrostatic filters, foreseeing a growing demand for clean air. In 2021, we successfully developed an electrostatic filter specifically tailored to the needs of climbing gyms.

That same year, we recognized the need for a cleaning solution for larger macros and volumes. Our initial prototype, a pressure washing booth with aerosol containment, was rigorously tested and ultimately became our first patented product.

In 2023, we introduced a series of gym brushes, designed in-house, which are widely praised. Since then, we've taken on the challenge of developing the ultimate vacuum cleaner for maintaining clean and dust-free gyms.
