Congrats to Ava Volumes, winner of the CBJ Grip Showcase Salt Lake City 2024!

What a show! Twelve routesetters, fifteen brands, an abundance of the freshest shapes of indoor climbing…it was a sight to behold at The Front South Main in SLC last month!

It’s always hard to judge a Grip Showcase—all the holds are awesome! On a scale of 1 to 5, it’s easy to see how practically every brand got an average of 3 or higher.

But as the dust settled, Ava Volumes was the clear winner, with an average of 3.95. And it’s well deserved—their new no-tex volume panels up the ante on their 200 volume options. The panel and volume families are all designed to work together for a seemingly endless variety of stacking combinations.
