## Why we exist

The climbing industry has experienced explosive growth, but the digital tools supporting organizers, gyms, routesetters, and athletes haven't evolved at the same pace. Spreadsheets, manual processes, and disconnected systems that fail to reflect the sport's unique demands are still the norm in many facilities. 

We’re here to change that. Combining deep climbing insight with technical innovation to create solutions that reduce administrative work, improve the climbing experience, and provide data-driven insights that were previously inaccessible. What we create feels intuitive to climbers because they're built by climbers. Climbing is complex - we make it simple.

Jon Hemmingsen

CEO & Co-Founder

In my heart I am an innovative entrepreneur. My biggest motivation is creating products from insights that make life easier for people around me. I am a passionate climber and I find climbing endlessly interesting with new dimensions to discover.

Antonin Pharel

Research & Development

I have worked at most IFSC World Cups and Championships since 2018. A climber at heart, I write articles and create videos for climbing magazines. I’ve been part of ClimbAlong since the early days of S.C.O.R.E.

Frederik Juul Christiansen

Product Designer

I have over a decade of climbing experience and have worked as a routesetter, manager, and organizer on more than 50 competitions. I blend hands-on knowledge with a sharp eye for design.

Jes Wulfsberg Nielsen

Software Architect and Consultant

A long-distance runner who is only occasionally up on the walls, I am also a long-time nerd, back from the C64 and the Amiga demo scene. I have a passion for graphics and data visualization; I love pretty colors which actually tell you something.

Christoffer Hansen

Cloud Architect

Elias Laghouila

Full-Stack Developer

Climbing for over 10 years, I’ve competed in casual comps and national championships. I've been with ClimbAlong since the start. I love geeking out over random things, like how electricity moves, what happens near a black hole, or the life of an ant.

Magnus Granno

Full-Stack Developer

I'm passionate about constantly learning and improving my skills, always striving to outdo my yesterday-self. Outside of the tech world, I enjoy the patience of fishing, the epic stories of Marvel, and the challenge and fun of gaming.

Max Meldal

Full-Stack Developer

I’m a part-time full-stack developer at NorthTech and have been working on the ClimbAlong platform since 2022. I study Machine Learning at the University of Copenhagen - and when I’m not coding, I’m probably gaming.

Joachim Valdemar Andersen

Marketing & Sales

Once a professional golfer, now I help climbing gyms level up with S.P.O.T. and S.C.O.R.E.. I work across sales, content marketing and strategy, to make sure ClimbAlong doesn’t stay the industry's best-kept secret.

Mathilde Bækdahl

Full-Stack Developer

I'm a full-stack developer, and I dabbled in climbing for a period of time. It was fun, though I eventually realised I'm better cut out for the life of a couch potato - relaxing with my dog and a book or my trusty Switch.

Thomas Skov Bornerup

Full-Stack Developer

I’m a backend developer with over 10 years at NorthTech. I started climbing 2.5 years ago and love the challenge - small hands, big passion. Outside of work, I’m into architecture, politics, sci-fi, and gaming.
