CBJ Grip List Awards - Routesetter Favorites

CBJ Grip List Awards: Routesetter Favorites

Each year, the Climbing Business Journal surveys the favorite climbing hold brands of routesetters around the world, providing insight into which brands routesetters are finding particularly useful. Since the first survey in 2014, the CBJ Grip List has evolved to encompass the favorite holds, macros, volumes, board systems, and apps for routesetting management and spraywalls, and more.

In 2022 CBJ also began organizing Grip Showcases – events held alongside major North American climbing industry gatherings. Each event held a vote and the winner earned the Grip List Showcase Award.
