KILTER
Gyms need lots of jugs and incuts, and Kilter has a ton of these bread and butter holds that are comfortable in shape and texture, aesthetically pleasing, and extremely useful. Gyms also need eye catching and fun shapes, and Kilter offers for full size ranges of holds in a variety of styles.
Kilter Kaiju and 2XL are big fun holds that people want to grab. They are well featured on The Project route in Sweden, a seasonal project route for people, including pro climbers, to test themselves against that is set almost entirely with Kilter 2XL and Kaiju-sized grips!
Kilter Grips started with three classic styles - Winter, Noah, and Teagan - that work well together so your routes and problems look good. They also go well with Haptic shapes including Keith Dickey's Stella and Moses, Jimmy Webb's Southern Slopers, Alex Puccio's Pinches, Jeremy Ho's Lo Riders and Dunes, Will Anglin's Granite, and Will Watkins Oz Scoops and pro setters shapes from our sub-company Union. One of Kilter's most popular lines is Ian's Sandstone which are renowned for their artistry.
Peter Juhl's Geo Complex stack together with clean rounded angular edges that also fit well on volumes.
Complex also include ever-expanding line of jibs (screw-on holds) will help you get the most out of your volumes.
Junction sets with dual-signifier aesthetics will allow you to cleanly mix and match between the styles, even the rock-style and smooth-style holds.
Kilter Grips are directional, meaning they are designed to easily allow you to set specific moves with them. Many holds on the market are basically blobs that can be used from multiple sides no matter how they are set, making it difficult to encourage movement. Kilter are all directional to allow setters to create, and insist upon, the exact moves they want. [+]
URBAN PLASTIX
Urban Plastix are fun, comfortable shapes in interesting styles that are a good compliment to Kilter and Haptic grips. From UP classic sets like Training Wall Crimps, Squeeze Pinches, Beanes, Bricks, and Stealth dual-tex, to expanded popular lines like Tremors, Not Font, and Speed Bumps, UP shapes are staples for gyms and home walls.
Urban Plastix makes many sets that are excellent for V3-V6 climbs on most angles, then turn into V7-V10 as soon as the wall gets steeper. This means the holds are very versatile for setting. The mini brick ledges (above) are one example of a fun set that is comfortable, interesting, and usable on a wide variety of angles and grades. The Tremors (below) are the most comfortable, fun wrinkle-texture holds in the world. [+]
HAPTIC HOLDS
Haptic means relating to or based on a sense of touch. Well designed climbing holds feel good in your hand, and that is a huge part of what makes them enjoyable to climb on. With Haptic, Ian works with pro climbers, pro setters, and other pro shapers to design new lines of holds based around each shaper's own particular strengths and vision.
Haptic is a sub-brand under Kilter and also includes Ian's shapes that don't fit into Kilter's four main styles of Winter, Noah, Teagan, and Sandstone. Haptic's shapers include athletes Jimmy Webb, Jeremy Ho, and Alex Puccio and setters Keith Dickey and Will Anglin. Haptic also includes holds from pro shapers Peter Juhl of Urban Plastix and Will Watkins of Unleashed Climbing and Rubber Holds in Australia. [+]
