I bolted on real rocks to my climbing wall years back. It's great for not spending a ton of cash on holds. Just had to do some beach combing for good rocks to use. Drilling takes some work, but well worth it for me.
@@felixbaker8709 strictly come dancing is a show where usually celebrities are paired up with professional dancers, and the duos compete with each other performing a routine each week which gets judged.
I remember the day when climbing walls were mostly brick (pre bendecrete), then later with some bricks removed and real rock concreted in. Altringham wall had some of them labeled as to where they came from. Chamonix granite etc… go to the Alps, bring back a hold. (Not from a route, obviously!)
NatureClimbing holds are by far my favorite holds to set with and to climb on. They are so fun to play with and I get to feel like a real rock climber 😁
Our gym has a lot of holds actually made out of granite that were built by old members to pay off their membership. They're super interesting and we get a lot of fun boulders out of them.
These look greeeeat! As soon as the video started my brain started thinking about how I can make some holds like this myself. I just entered the thing, IF I get them, they're totally getting donated to my local bouldering gym :p
This holds looks awsome. Honestly i hate how gym walls looks, becouse of all those random colors. It's possible to make fun and colorfull walls, but almost always climbing gyms looks like trashcan would explode and everything stick to the walls. And spray walls looks just like a trash can. I wish climbing gyms had toned down, more natural look, and those holds are perfect.
I remember climbing at Glasgow indoor climbing centre when they introduced these plastic holds that felt like slate. Absolutely no friction, so it was all crimp and positive foot holds. Great fun but really hard to climb on
Great route, NatureClimbing are my favourite holds by far. Hadn't much experience with full granite, but their woodies are amazing. For my home gym I've merged their woodies rail L with BeastMaker1000, and the experience is wonderful. Very compact solution, and it does it all (for me), easy assembly and disassembly. I hook BM1000 between two bars, so back space is free and available for extras. I only wish there would be chips/crimp version of the stone holds for added variety. And the smaller ones would definitely compliment my home setup. Hopefully one day they would become available :) Definitely check NC out (they have all the stuff, not only holds, but hangboards as well).
I remember your episode on the careless climbing talk podcast talking about your Steppenwolf experience. Which added even more to showing that old video 😅 Very nice you got your revenge on it in the gym
Jesus this was meta. Watching a video of a video to help make a boulder indoors like a boulder outdoors with fake holds made of real rock . . . . so meta
Yes - they are not cheap, but the price is not different than average plastic holds on the market. For bulk or gym orders we offer discounts and you can always write to us and explain your situation! :) Having them made in Europe (Denmark) in a sustainable and handmade fashion bears its cost, we are working on solutions to make our products more affordable in the future!
Wish more holds where made from recycled materials. I mean I get that once new holds are made they essentially last forever. I see a big marketing ploy for the first big hold company to produce a new range made entirely of recycled plastic from ocean clean up. Get on it kilter.
@expectationlost yes! We've been working with a recycled granite from Norway for the past 10 years! It's a leftover material from tunneling projects and operations, that we are lucky to redesign and repurpose :)
just like with the real rock! :) It's definitely not for your every session, but works great for setting 1-2 boulders in a gym, projecting a specific boulders outdoor or for spray walls. For some climbers this will be the first or the only time they will actually try climbing a real rock ;)
"But outdoors is tricky. Its cold, its scary, you have to walk quite a way to get to the hard boulders." Straight up one of the saddest things I've heard come from a climber.
No! We've been working with a recycled granite from Norway for the past 10 years! It's a leftover material from building tunnels in Norway, that we are lucky to redesign and repurpose :) We would never attempt to take natural rock from its habitat!
This looks AMAZING! Definitely one of the hardest boulders set with our holds ;) Thanks for the collab Louis and showing us what's possible ;)
Definitely the coolest holds we’ve ever used in a video!! Epic to bring the outdoors in 🤙
Maybe we can get Boulders to set some up. After all the font trips, they should be full of inspiration 😊
These holds look awesome 💪🏻😁
I'd really like to gift them to my gym, our routesetters would really enjoy these
@@assaqwwq yes! We've been pushing them to do so! Very soon we'll have a Nature circuit in selected gyms
Do these holds polish like outdoor holds, eventually?
'Snacks? No, chalk'. Same thing
Made me laugh
Sick concept! I want to see Louis projecting limit boulders more often.
not a limit boulder if he does in a session
Feels like its been ages since I've watched Louis send at his max, actually so strong 🔥

The lift at the start makes me think we should see Louis on Strictly 😂
What's Strictly?

I like how he aggressively dry fires off a big move and then goes “that was pretty good”
Damn, I especially loved the send! Great music, great vibe, great climb!

"snacks or- no chalk" are they not the same thing?!!?!? 😂
That is dam fine climbing and a great video too. The new holds look like a lot of opportunity for fun.

Setters use ladders correctly challenge: IMPOSSIBLE!
Sick video! It is always a blast getting to watch Louis try hard.
1:31 "Snacks or chalk?" Why not both?
Why not? It's Natural. *Claim not supported by NHS, FDA and IFSC.
8B it is! (sandbags it to V12)

Fingers crossed!
billy ridal as a setter just does tall lanky strong moves - never understands that theres shorter than 6ft people
Do they have them in neon green?
(Tis a joke)

I tried some real rock holds on my homewall and I quite like the feel of them, just have to be careful about the sharpish edges.

I'm 20seconds in. Damn Louis, I like your shirt! Where did you get it from?!
the shirt is by ASOS Design
and I fell in love with the pants xD :-P hehe
Nice, I have natural holds from where ever I am travelling to on my privat wall. It is the best type of hold, even better than wooden ones.
More of this type of collab and holds, super fun video
Liked this a lot! Great to see some high level climbing!
Will we see some nice boulders with those rocks at Raven ? :D
Such a cool problem! Really really fun to watch! =)
did you end up sending that outside boulder?
01:30 The immediate lack of interest when its not food!😂 Must have been starving hungry.
we also genuinly felt his dissapointment...
you missed the jump down push ups Louis! :)
They look sooooo gooooood
Is this Ravenswall ? :o
Jesus this was meta. Watching a video of a video to help make a boulder indoors like a boulder outdoors with fake holds made of real rock . . . . so meta
That shirt looks sick!
I audibly gasped when Louis went for the dynamic bump to the finish the first time. He makes risky moves look so natural!
cool holds!
Should make a video with magnus were you both pretend to be new to the gym in the disguises and compete with each other
I remember that video of Louis popping off the top of Steppenwolf! I felt so disappointed for him!
If they weren't so darn expensive...

dem nature holds is wild
doesn't count. Didn't do the push-ups when dropping down ;)
More videos of you projecting hard boulders please!
Please pick me!! From the Oahu Bouldering Gym in Hawaii. Do it for the kids!!! 🧗♀️
Where can I get the top Louis is wearing. I love that style.
Something happened to the audio right at the 3 minute mark
Awesome video!! It´s the giveaway available for other countries as well? Would love to set with those holds :)
it's available worldwide :)
Seeing Louis the first time on real rock indoors, amazing!!
bring Ink back into the gym!!
Did you edit away the “let’s get to it”?😂
Cpt. Cutloose has to cut loose more.
Commenting for fun hello
snacks?? 🤩 no, chalk.. ☹️
"OOh Snacks or!!, no chalk"
Wish my gym had these holds!
someone liked hermann hesse
Just finished the vid! Super cool set. I'd love to try real rock holds indoors as I'm a Floridian who has never known the touch of real rock. Lol.
We feel you - we're from Denmark, we had to bring the outdoors to indoors, to enjoy the feel of true rock!
Louis forgot to do his pushups
SNACKS?!?!
Fun video!
Awesome!
that was awesome!

15:09 how come you took it down?
Don't have CSN EN 12572-3 yet
recycled rocks?
@expectationlost yes! We've been working with a recycled granite from Norway for the past 10 years! It's a leftover material from tunneling projects and operations, that we are lucky to redesign and repurpose :)
Fuck I miss climbing, can’t wait till this fucking semester ends. Awesome video!
Looks like there is so much potential for micro-beta on these holds. Looks very cool. But potentially also very ouch!

That is RavensWall! I have been there so many times and I have never seen you there. Might be because I am cheap and I go off-peak.
More collabs with Billy please :3

Kudos to the camera crew, color looks really nice on this video. Nice work!
Also loved the video for its intended purpose too
WTF is that weird shirt?
4 views in 2 minutes? This channel is DEAD
just like ur mother
The videos takes a bit longer to watch. 16k in 4 hours now, which is not bad at all.
Fucking sick send
