Routesetters, we’re back with the annual CBJ Grip List Survey, and we want to hear from you—the people using these holds to create your masterpieces. This is your chance to geek out, share your opinions, and help great brands and shapers get the recognition they deserve.
We’ve got big changes this year: For the first time ever, we’re using a five-star rating system, so you don’t have to choose just one favorite. For each category, we listed every brand that received at least 1% (holds, macros, volumes) or at least 2% (other categories) of the vote in any of the past 3 years of the Grip List. There’s also space at the end of each question to add ratings for more brands.
Thanks for participating!
