Grip Showcase Salt Lake City 2026 Results

Congrats to Crux Agarras, winner of the CBJ Grip Showcase Salt Lake City 2026!

There’s no shortage of beautiful holds in the climbing world, but there’s something special about seeing 23 brands each get their own route, their own canvas, their own shot at the crown.

That’s exactly what went down at this year’s Grip Showcase. The walls were stacked, the setting was dialed, and the holds spoke for themselves.

With so many stellar shapes on display, it was another close vote. In the end, a round of applause goes to Crux Agarras, whose holds were obvious fan favorites.
