eXpression Holds: A Historic Climb to the Tokyo Olympics!

Climbing made its historic Olympic debut in Tokyo in 2021. For eXpression Holds, it wasn't just a global event. It was the culmination of 18 years of passion and craftsmanship.

It is with immense pride, and no small amount of emotion, that we share this memory: eXpression Holds was selected as one of only four brands worldwide to supply the holds for the very first Olympic Games in our sport's history.

The culmination of 18 years of passion

You don't reach Olympus overnight. For us, this selection was the result of nearly two decades devoted to innovation, design and a deep understanding of how climbers move. Being chosen to equip the biggest sporting event on the planet proved that our vision of climbing resonates at the highest international level.

The Olympic selection: the best of our ranges

To give the world's best athletes a playground worthy of their talent, the Olympic routesetters drew on our most iconic shapes.

The ranges that made the cut

While the Boulder range was at the heart of the selection, climbers also had to take on sets from our flagship collections:

• Riverbed & Bleau: for their texture and natural shapes.

• Desert Point & Essence: for a more technical, aesthetic approach.

• Pro Models by Romain Desgranges: holds designed by a champion, for champions.

Relive the Olympic adventure at your gym

Whether you run a gym, set routes or simply love to climb, you can pull on the same holds that made history in Tokyo. Our ranges are built to push limits, from the local bouldering gym to the Olympic wall.
