Sunday Eve (A Routesetters Reflection) |

Anyone
can screw in a hold, but it takes a visionary to
put up a route that flows.
Stripping
the walls of old routes, the artist stares blankly
at his canvas, searching the angles for a new inventive
idea, another way up the wall. He prepares
his pallet, washing the holds, carefully picking
out just the right holds. All great routes
begin with a theme,
a center piece; the rest of the route is a prelude
and finale to that move.
More
thought often goes into a route than
would on deciding a career. So if you thought
we were just slapping holds on to torture you…well,
yes we were, but that’s why you keep coming
back isn’t it? |

you think Edgeworks has a lot of climbing holds?
Well so do we and we've got a few extra that are for sale

wall in your garage or even just a pull-up board
above a door jam. I'm sure you can find more use for our holds
than we ever imagined; some people have even used our holds as
bolted on safety grips for use when on their roof!
