b'There was a turning point around 2000, when ergono-mics and aesthetics became at least as important as simply imitating nature. This was the birth of the"Bleau" holds, similar to the incredible shapes of Fontainebleau sandstone. But its no longer a question of just practi-cing indoors because the weather means you cant climb outside. Indoor climbing, particularly with the advent of bouldering, has shaken off that reputation. With the arrival of Chris Sharma as a shaper, and above all Laurent Laporte, we saw the emergence of gigantic holds and volumes that became essential in competitions, such as the "Saturn" hold or the famous "Taijitu" volume.A benchmark even today!Its worth noting that the use of PU, from 2012 onwar-ds, means that we can now produce very large but lightweight, ideal for setting. Always on the lookout for fruitful collaborations, we continue to call on athletes at the top of their game, such as Spanish outdoor climber Edu Marin and Great Britains Shauna Coxsey, a highly successful bouldering World Cup competitor.18 19'
