The VooDoo Climbing Blog: trick or treat

trick or treat

This year I spent Halloween with my good friends in San Diego. It was a last minute fun/work trip and a fantastic time. My flight was supposed to be uneventful - Flagstaff to Phoenix then on to San Diego - a total of 3 hours travel time. Sounded great to me - but I have this habit of chatting with people everywhere I go and I missed my connection in Phoenix! Totally embarrassed - I called my friends in San Diego to explain - they let me off easy and the airline booked me on the next flight to San Diego 3 hours later. So no big deal, I enjoyed dinner with my new airport friends. Boarded my next flight daydreaming about the Crow's Nest sunset cocktail hour in San Diego and waking up to a glorious view of the Pacific Ocean... unfortunately the fog came in - the pilots tried to land in San Diego.... twice.... no luck. My flight was sent back to Phoenix! Luckily, Lucy saved me from an overnight stay at the airport - she took great care of me and made sure I arrived at the airport on time the next day for my flight to Las Vegas then on to San Diego. Once I arrived at my final destination I was able to relax, soak up the fabulous scenery and the wonderful company. Thank you Stan, Margot, Mike, Cindy & of course my guardian angel - Lucy!

A few VooDoo Innovations

Environmentally Responsible
The original environmentally responsible urethane climbing hold: VooDoo holds are made with a bombproof semi elastic mix. Our specially formulated polyurethane mix is non TDI, non mercury and our pigments are lead free, creating a safer climbing hold for the buyer and the manufacturer. After 15 years of working with urethanes and understanding all of the benefits we’re happy to see other hold companies are finally switching to urethanes.

Pure Base Technology
VooDoo created a unique manufacturing process that allows us to laminate a pure, semi-flexible base (comparable to the consistency of a modern skateboard wheel) to the standard core material of our holds. The advantages:
*Semi-flexible base adjusts to the surface contours of climbing walls
*Softer base creates more friction between the hold and the wall, dramatically reducing spinning holds.
*Improves the safety and durability of our holds by allowing the edge of the hold to flex rather than chip off and create ugly and sometimes dangerous sharp edges.
*Pure Base does not alter the shape or the texture of the climbing hold, and has been tested to withstand the common cleaning solutions used by climbing gyms across the country.

Dual Texture holds
VooDoo was the first to create dual texture holds and we are still the best at it. The slick texture forces the climber to use the textured gripping surface on the hold which requires more accuracy. Dual texture holds are many course setters’ favorites because they make it difficult to cheat a move.

Hollow Back holds
VooDoo revolutionized the hold industry by inventing the hollow back hold. The hollow backs make our holds lightweight and easier to handle while setting routes. By using less material we keep the cost of the hold and shipping down.

Sliding bolts
Another VooDoo innovation, with a sliding bolt there are more options to use existing t nut locations, allowing you to slide the bolt where you need it. Two attachment points make it so the bigger holds can’t spin.
