The Story of BAB HOLDS

Uniquely Designed Climbing Holds

In 2003, when I was 16 years old, I became interested in climbing through my uncles, who were climbing and mountaineering coaches. For three years, I practiced climbing both outdoors and in gyms. In 2006, I started developing outdoor bouldering routes.

This journey continued until 2011 when I began designing and producing climbing holds under the MAX brand. I pursued this profession for a year and later partnered with a fellow climber to further develop the business. This partnership lasted until 2017, but due to differences, we decided to part ways.

After that, I chose to continue my path with the BAB HOLDS brand. In the same year, I successfully established the KoohSki Climbing Gym, which provided a great opportunity to enhance the variety and quality of climbing holds. 80% of the holds in the KoohSki gym were designed and produced by myself.

Climbing changed my life. With the BAB HOLDS brand, I have strived to introduce more people to the world of climbing. I want to stand alongside you and future generations of climbers, which is why I am dedicated to creating products that help you succeed—no matter where you are on your climbing journey.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your adventure. Thank you for choosing BAB HOLDS.
