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.
Our Mission
Our mission is to be recognized as the leading, trusted partner in creating cleaner and more sustainable climbing gyms for route setters, staff, and climbers.
We develop custom solutions and products for the climbing industry, all grounded in science and data. Our offerings are the most sustainable on the market, meeting the highest standards for safety and a healthy work environment.
