Tension Climbing makes wooden climbing holds. Why wood? That's exactly what I wanted to know. I've long known that I'm a fan of climbing on wooden holds, and I have my reasons, but I've never put even remotely close to as much thought into it as the guys over at Tension have.
In this episode, I sat down with Will Anglin (from Episode 12) and Ben Spannuth (who also designed the "bam! board") to discuss their products, the reasoning behind their shapes, what their favorites are, and more. They just released two new hangboards: "The Grindstone" and "The Grindstone Pro." If you're in the market for a board, you want one (or both) of these. Trust me. We go in depth on these two boards as well as their brilliant travel/warmup board "The Flash Board," their campus rungs, and even touch on their upcoming "Tension Board." I had to stop Will from saying too much... he's just so excited.
