For climbers, the connection between skin and stone is everything. It’s a conversation. It’s a moment of trust where your grip meets the mountain’s texture. We dream of that feeling when we’re away from the crag, scheming up ways to train, to improve, to keep our fingers strong and our minds sharp.
But let's be honest: many home training setups can feel… synthetic. Plastic holds are functional, but they often lack the soul and the nuanced friction of real rock. What if you could train on a surface that felt more authentic, more organic, and was crafted with a climber's intuition?
At Two Stones, we asked that same question. The answer is here, and it’s crafted not from plastic, but from nature's original building block: **solid wood**.
We are thrilled to introduce our new collection of **Wood Climbing Holds**—a training tool designed to bridge the gap between the gym and the great outdoors.
Designed By Rock Climbers, For Rock Climbers
We didn’t design these holds in a sterile lab. We designed them on the wall, after long sessions where our skin was raw and our beta was perfected. Every curve, every angle, and every texture is informed by years of pulling on rock.
Our starter pack is meticulously curated to build a powerful, versatile grip:
* **Slopers:** The ultimate test of body tension and open-hand strength. Our wooden slopers are shaped to teach you the delicate art of weight distribution and trust, mirroring the frustrating-yet-addictive slopers you find on your project.
* **Jugs:** For those days when you need to focus on power endurance, link moves, or just have fun. These positive holds are your best friend for laps, warm-ups, and letting the kids go wild.
* **Pinches:** The cornerstone of a complete grip training regimen. We’ve designed pinches that challenge your thumb engagement from various angles, ensuring you’re prepared for those crucial pinch blocks and aretes on real rock.
This isn't just a random assortment of holds; it's a foundational toolkit for any serious climber looking to train their grips intelligently and effectively.
The Two Stones Difference: Why Wood Wins
So, why did we choose wood? The reasons are as clear as the grain in our holds.
**1. Unmatched Durability and Beauty**
Forget particle board, wood chips, or weak splicing. Each Two Stones hold is **carved from a complete, solid wood block**. This isn't just about aesthetics (though the natural wood grain *is* beautiful). It’s about raw, uncompromising strength. These holds won't splinter, crack, or warp under pressure. They are built to withstand years of rigorous training, countless sessions, and the full force of your dedication.
**2. A Polished, Finger-Friendly Surface**
Your skin is your most valuable asset. We treat it with respect. Each hold undergoes a meticulous multi-stage finishing process. We don’t just run a sander over it once; we polish the surface with progressively finer sandpaper and finish with a fabric disc. The result? A surface that is incredibly smooth to the touch, preventing unnecessary wear and tear on your fingertips, while still providing that perfect, honest friction that wood is known for. It’s gentle on your skin but tough on your weaknesses.
**3. Incredibly Easy to Install**
We know your time is precious and should be spent climbing, not fiddling with tools. That’s why every hold comes **pre-drilled and includes its own mounting screws**. There’s no guessing, no need for pilot holes (on most wood boards), and no frustration. Grab your screwdriver, pick your location on your home wall or training board, and in minutes, you’re ready to start your session. It’s that simple.
More Than Just Training: A Tool for the Whole Family
While these screw-on holds are primarily designed for the serious rock climber looking to elevate their training, we discovered a wonderful, unexpected benefit: **kids absolutely adore them!**
The warm, natural feel of the wood is inviting. The variety of shapes—from friendly jugs to intriguing pinches—sparks imagination. Your home training wall can instantly transform into a jungle gym, a pirate ship's rigging, or a magical mountain. Watching a child problem-solve their way up a wall, building confidence and coordination, is a beautiful thing. With Two Stones wooden holds, you’re not just investing in your own progress; you’re inviting the next generation to discover the joy of climbing.
