Review > Binary Climbing Holds > True Grit 1 & 2 and Almost Triangle

It's pretty unusual that a climbing hold company flies under our radar! Binary is one such company that for some reason we missed until someone who was stoked on their products brought them to our attention... they managed to get away with almost 2 years of hold making before we got some of their shapes and started to do what we do...

And you know what we do :)

We have three sets for you this time True Grit 1 & 2 and Almost Triangles


The True Grit's are part of the Grit Series that Binary Holds produces and the Almost Triangles are part of the Waves series...

Review > Metolius Climbing > Mixed Bag Review (Basic Pockets / Morphology / Rimple and Splines)

Last time we looked at Metolius climbing holds it was because they had released a new line of urethane holds. Where they were one of the innovators of things to bolt onto walls they were soon surpassed by new materials that was better than their resin offerings.

Controversial statement?

Probably! Actually a fact the industry did leave them behind for a great number of years but now they produce urethane and resin

Resin DOES have a place in the market because it lasts a long time and if you don't throw your holds onto a hard surface then they do basically outlast urethane. But Metolius did shape a new line of climbing holds that we looked at (you can read that review: here) last time we looked at Orbs. Cobbles, New Wave, Mud and the Sunspots... not the full ranges but a sample offering of what they had at the time. This time it's pretty much the same, except we're kicking it with some Basic Pockets, Morphology, some Splines and a Rimple volume

As usual there is going to be a bunch of information, so lets get kicking with the holds, actually lets do two things.. lets look at the holds and look at Metolius' own walk through on some of these holds :)
