The shape

The original idea for this unusual shape was Brice Anziutti’s brainchild. He envisioned a design inspired by a breaking wave, with the grain representing the foam frothing over the smooth curve of the dual texture.

In addition to its visual appeal and minimalist design, the shape has an extremely technical dimension, offering a different type of grip depending on how you use it : pinch, sloper, crimp…

 

 

The Vortex energy transforms climbing into a weightless dance.

A complete range

The first series in the range contained 5 fibre macro holds. In light of the enthusiastic feedback we received, we decided to add 7 more macros. Going a step further, Brice created a PU version of the range, with a wide variety of sizes and types of grip.

The result: 93 holds and 24 macros (FT and DT) ranging from XS up to XXXL, with jugs, slopers, crimps, edges, and even micro footholds – the whole gamut!

 

We called upon the expertise of Simon Favrot for the dual texture creation. The boundaries are extremely sharp with a particularly aesthetic matte finish.

 

Technical and versatile

93 holds and 24 macros :

  • all sizes : XS to XXXL
  • all grips : jugs, crimps, micros, edges, slopers…

 

Active grip :

  • As a pinch, with the thumb on the edge.
  • As a sloper, using the main part of the grip.
  • As a crimp or foothold, using the edge.

 

The ultimate grip has a particularly porous surface with a lot of friction. This is achieved by brushing the foam for the shape in a particular way. When they come out of the mould, the holds have a lot more grip and are also a longer lifespan!

The signature range

The Vortex holds now join the signature ranges, which already includes the Mercy holds. In fact, during the French Bouldering Championships, both ranges complemented each other perfectly. All we can say is that they match beautifully!
