Morpho Volumes
ABOUT MORPHO
Morpho-logy /mɔːˈfɒlədʒi/
1. The study of the forms of things
2. A particular form, shape, or structure
Climbing has always been a game of creativity, of playing out ever new possibilities. And this is not only about finding new routes and ever smaller holds. It is also about culture, innovation and engeenering.
Morpho holds grew directly out of our love for climbing. After many years of shaping, moulding, researching, creating and testing, inspired by the values of the climbing community, Jure Bobnar and Rok Brezar founded the Morpho brand in 2014.
We take great pride and satisfaction in our work, our unique shapes and our production technologies. They allow us a great value for price ratio, while still maintaining the quality and durability, evident in our holds being regularly used in World Cups and other prominent competitions as well as in most major climbing gyms throughout the world.
Being one of the leading brands on the market, with quality that stands above competition, hasn’t slowed us. We still continue to dream up new designs, concepts and technological hacks, staying at the forefront of modern holds and volumes production. In the end, the passion with which we designed our first hold, is still the main driving force of Morpho today.
All holds and volumes are produced in Slovenia, meeting the EN 12572-3 European safety standards. Our work is regularely self-inspected to maintain our famous friction and durability, technological edge and attractive design.

Magic Wood
3D design, symmetrical grips, top quality materials and superior texture are the ingredients that make the Magic Wood family the most disruptive hold set on the market. Magic Wood holds are available in sizes S to XL, and using them to set problems or routes has never been easier thanks to the hollowed back of all holds size M and up. Lightness the elegant finish guarantees a long life and excellent visibility even in high traffic conditions. The texture, finely designed to be soft on the skin while assuring a long-lasting, positive grip, can be regenerated. Albeit, Magic Wood holds are designed to also work if the coating is completely sanded down, allowing for the amazing experience of climbing on raw wood.
MWHolds Volumes
ABOUT MWHOLDS
MWHolds was born From an Idea of Marcello Facchetti and the support from Enrico Baistrocchi back in 2013. All our volumes are made of 18mm 13 layers birch plywood. Birch gives the right combination of mechanical resistance and elasticity. Wall setting can be done with screws inserted through pre-made slots and reinforced with metal washers to improve durability. Most of our volumes can be produced in a bolt-on version; this gives you multiple advantages, mostly related to the volume placement and to the preservation of the walls from multiple setscrew holes. Our threaded inserts are made of galvanized steel with two holes and round base. Our texture is made of a mix of resin and quartz sand with a max 0,35mm granulometry. The resulting surface is easily washable with water and brush or pressure washer: once dried, your volume will be like brand new. We are also able to provide customized volumes in terms of shapes, sizes and dual text surfaces .

HITOHOLDS
ABOUT HITOHOLDS
Hito Holds grew up from the passion for climbing. Patxi Basarte has always been attracted by shapes and textures of climbing holds. Searching the best hold, he discovered a new side of climbing: the design or The Art of Climbing! A new world that he found so exciting. During his professional career he had great fortune to meet Ferran Guerrero who taught him everything. Ferran has been a pioneer in the world of design for countless brands between 1998 -2003, when he created his own brand of climbing holds, Psyco Art Holds;. For Hito and many other brands, it has been and continues to be a benchmark. Patxi worked tirelessly for years to improve his way of designing, which clearly reflected his passion for climbing. The work paid off, and national and international companies were interested in his designs. It was the support that was missing to take final step and set as a goal to create his own brand of climbing holds (Hito Holds). In early 2010, the Hito Holds brand was founded by Patxi Basarte and Miren Zabaleta. Their origins are totally different and therefore they form a perfect mix of climbing knowledge, design, engineering, quality and business. HITO knows needs of our customers, so quality is a benchmark in our products, always improving on innovation and development. Our manual work is essence of our success, being creative and different from the rest, creating innovative designs that make a difference. Discover our sets of climbing holds made in PU of highest quality and our MACROS manufactured with the latest thermoforming technologies. Our goal is that you can enjoy climbing with our holds, just as we do by creating and designing best trends of the moment.
