My inspiration

I felt very artistically motivated to create and sculpt these holds and I have strived to produce a product that is visually striking and very stimulating to climb on as they are intrinsically dual textured.

This lead me to develop this completely new form of climbing hold over the period of 2 years, with real rock and the incredible tensile strength of epoxy resin.

Climbing is a highly creative way for expressing yourself, and even more so  when visually activated and inspired. 

I am a qualified Banker Stone Mason working in stone on prestigious old buildings. I specialise stone carving, renovation and conservation and have worked for a number of years on many of the UKs heritage buildings, helping  to restore them to their original state.
