This is probably a group of strongest climbers to ever climb on our holds at the same time! ❤🔥 Thanks for the support Stefano. We're there for you, whatever can get you 1% closer to Silence!
First time buying something after a RU-vid video. After a period of climbing only on plastic due to bad weather, I know I can have very bad finger tips experience going back outside. It is not necessarily about the skin itself, but more about the flesh under the skin which forgets what it is like to be compressed between my bones and the rock. Anyway, curious to see if these holds will temper this a bit.
Nature Climbing should market these holds to gyms to make permasets, small holds that don't take to much space of the wall and don't degrade as quickly to make the gym's grade benchmarks.
I have some ~20 % natural rocks on my homewall. They are absolutely great. They are simply drilled and some even smoothed on the back to make them flat on the wall. However, I used quite soft stone that was easy to drill. The drawback of that is, they can break if you step on them. The rock holds shown here are surely of harder rock and will not break. 😅
The most famous words of a boulderer, before going hard I need a warm up....ending on a harder boulder 🤣🤣. Fire vid. Wish you the best for your proj silence!!!
I'd be curious to learn more about natural holds - have folks done this before, what is the manufacturing process (just a random rock with some holes drilled?), what are the downsides (do they break easily?). Great video!
Thanks for the questions and the curiosity! We collect leftover rock from tunneling and road projects in Norway, and repurpose and recycle it. The holds don't break, and for the granite ones we are confident to give a lifetime warranty. Check out our website, blog (we have some good articles about our holds) and a video that we did with Emil Abrhamsson, where he visited our workshop - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xze8i7oi1yY.html. We are also working on a series of videos from out workshop, where we talk more about the process! Stay tuned!
Always good to have less plastic in this world. Climbers in general seem to be a little more environmentally conscious, something I really like about our community.
No natural holds. If you want to climb on rock, go and climb on rock. If every gym would be plenty ob Natural holds, what would happen to the rock. No please.
Do you think they're just going to bouldering crags and snatching holds off of routes? No, they use leftover quarried granite from Norway. It's not like outdoor climbing is going anywhere.
