About us
We are a team of climbing enthusiasts who have all worked in the world of international climbing competitions. After years spent alongside athletes, route setters, hold brands, and climbing gyms, we shared the same ambition: to open a new era for climbing by making the world’s best routes accessible everywhere.
Routes are what connect climbers. Each route is a unique experience created by talented route setters. But until now, these routes usually stayed in a single gym or competition and were difficult to share with the wider climbing community.
That is why we created Circle.
Circle connects climbing gyms with some of the most talented route setters around the world through a curated marketplace of unique, ready-to-install climbing routes. Our mission is to help gyms deliver fresh and inspiring climbing experiences while giving route setters a new way to share their creativity globally.
We believe climbing gyms should have access to world-class routes without complexity. That is why we focus on quality, precision, and simplicity in every route shared on the marketplace.
Why Circle?
- Access routes created by talented route setters from around the world
- Install routes with detailed installation plans and precise measurements
- Discover new styles and inspirations from around the world
- Save time while maintaining high route quality
- Join a growing global climbing community
