5/17/2017 Making Climbing Holds with Trevor and Charles


Trevor and I have started to gather up and clean all of our silicone negatives so that we can make many climbing holds at once.




We realized that, if we properly stabilized them, we could fit more holds in to our box at one time.




Because of this process, we could make about ten or twelve holds in a day which gave us the time to experiment with things like paint.

Unfortunately, our idea of mixing in paint with the poly-urethane was not the best idea after all.




As you can see, the moisture of the orange paint caused many bubbles to form within the hold. These bubbles enlarged the hold and caused it to become too brittle to use.

Thankfully, Trevor and I are still on track and have almost all of the holds that we need!
