Last updated on Dec 7, 2024

I have been climbing for more than 30 years and have practiced almost all types of climbing. For me it is much more than a sport or physical activity. It is a spiritual experience of overcoming, tempering, humility, partnership and trust.

My wife and I met in the mountain, later that’s where we got married. We enjoy climbing together in Bulgaria and abroad, and one of our favorite forms of climbing is ice climbing. We look forward to winters that are cold enough and wonderfully-frozen waterfalls. But these conditions are becoming increasingly rare and brief. This has awakened in me the desire to experience the enjoyment of ice climbing training year-round, regardless of external conditions and circumstances.

My family has been carpenters for generations and we all have flare for wood. I enjoy creating different things with wood. Moreover, I like the idea of combining these two worlds – of the mountains and carpentry, in the products I create.

Over the past 7 years, through the Verticals design brand, we have developed different models of wooden axes that provide variety both in shape and price range. A children’s version of our classic model, first created for our son, was also invented.

During this period, wooden tools originally created for personal use have reached every corner of the planet – we have hundreds of satisfied customers and excellent feedback coming from literally every continent. This brings us satisfaction and inspiration to continue creating and improve together with you.

Really nice build quality to these, shipped super fast to Canada, nicely packaged to prevent damage, and burly rubber tips. My hands are a little smaller so the grips are very big, but that's good training!

Haven't climbed on them but seems good quality. The grip could be a bit nicer to hold. With gloves is no problem tho.

Our Story - Family Passion for Climbing, Woodworking and Sharing the Journey

I've been climbing for over 30 years, exploring nearly every style. For me, it's more than a sport — it's a spiritual journey of growth, humility, trust, and connection.

My wife and I met in the mountains and even got married there. We love climbing together in Bulgaria and abroad, especially ice climbing. But cold winters and frozen waterfalls are becoming rare, which sparked my desire to train year-round — no matter the conditions.

Woodworking runs in my family, and I’ve always loved creating with wood. Combining my passion for climbing and carpentry felt natural — and that’s how our wooden training tools were born.

Through our Verticals design brand, we've spent the last 10 years crafting wooden axes in various shapes and price ranges, including a kids' version we first made for our son.

What started as personal tools are now used by climbers across the globe. Hearing from happy customers on every continent inspires us to keep improving and creating — together with you.
