Born from CLIMB Works.
Built to Solve Problems.
Hackwell began when CLIMB Works saw a problem in zipline braking and brought in engineer and inventor Donny Hackett to help solve it. That collaboration led to ZIPKEA, the creation of Hackwell Innovations, and a partnership built around solving real industry problems through creative engineering.
Today, Hackwell carries forward Donny's legacy as part of the CLIMB Works family of companies.
