    I recently put up a lot of wooden holds on my home wall for winter training. If anyone else is thinking about doing the same, it's not difficult to make your own. If you live in an area that has a lot of climbing, you'll probably be able to find some local businesses that sell them. Otherwise, Metolius wooden holds are relatively cheap and sold by retailers. On the other hand, Beastmaker wooden holds are VERY, VERY expensive. They do have nice metal inserts to prevent the screw from digging too deep, but it doesn't justify the crazy markup.

    How would conditions affect a wooden climb? I don't really know but my guess is that the window for good conditions would be narrower for wooden routes than plastic routes which could be a problem in a comp.

    • @noahbowman120
      @noahbowman120 6 месяцев назад +2

      but at the same time, climbers may prefer it because of it being a bit easier on your skin. Not remotely close to being a pro climber, but they always talk about having to tape up for every non comp move they do in order to make sure they have skin left.

  • @apacheee
    @apacheee 6 месяцев назад

    awesome. the only downside to wooden holds is; how would we distinguish the different climbs? most gyms have textured walls so tape doesnt work because it gets stuck and is pretty impossible to take off unless the walls are smooth. im not sure if dying wooden holds would be an option or not, how well would the color stay after dozens of powerwashes? i love the wooden hold idea either way

      in the past we sometimes used thumb tacks in combination with (laminated) pieces of paper in different colors or with different symbols on them to identify different routes on spraywalls. not an ideal solution but better than nothing I suppose

      @jonasjohajohanson9517 6 месяцев назад +3

      Not sure whether or not @lucaa4480 gave you the correct answer but I think it is correct. On the moon board, which has a mixture of wood and PU holds, the rule "no foot on wood" exists as well. And, if you ever had a moon board session before, you see why this rules makes sense. From a wood hold you just can't brush off the rubber residues like you could from a PU hold. Over time all the wood holds become black and filthy.
