Where dual-textured holds were once unconventional, now they’re showing up everywhere, from comp walls to gyms and homewalls. In this month’s edition of the CBJ Grip Report, dual-tex grips dominate, and one particular submission asks you to reconsider what defines a climbing “hold” altogether. Enjoy!
