New Climbing Holds and Volumes: March 2026

CBJ Grip Report March 2026

Big smooth simple shapes have been making a comeback lately, and this month has some of those, including a pretty cool set of macros designed to nest inside each other for easy storage. But seems “funky” is maybe a better word to describe this month’s selection of new grips. Shapes that start to look simple, but then closer inspection have nuance, weirdness, funk – the kind of grip it takes a moment or two to figure out. Many of the families this month have a lot more variety if you click through.
