Our values
Our materials
Plywood
Robust, elegant and environmentally friendly, our wooden holds are a sustainable alternative to classic polyester (PE) or polyurethane (PU) ones.
Plywood, sourced from sustainable supply chains (FSC), offers excellent distribution of mechanical stresses, guaranteeing exceptional strength, a natural aesthetic and a reduced carbon footprint.
Flax fiber composites
Flax fiber macros are a local and ecological alternative to traditional fiberglass composites.
Both lighter and just as strong, they make opening easier thanks to a reduced weight, while bringing a unique design touch to climbing walls.
The result: a perfect mix of technical expertise, ease of handling and environmental awareness.

Choosing D'Block Holds means offering your climbers a modern and committed experience and affirming an eco-responsible approach without compromising on performance.
Grip and color selection
The holds have been designed with a dual-texture finish, but you can also opt for a more classic full-grip option. For the linen holds, a smooth, non-grip version is also available.
If you'd like the dual-texture option, but with a different grip placement on our grips, please contact us.
Grips with textured surfaces are available in several colors, see opposite. Please specify your color choice when ordering.
For all other colours, please consult us to discuss feasibility.
The origin of D'Block Holds
Delphin Pantaloni, its founder
As a materials science engineer specializing in low environmental impact polymers and composites, I have always been passionate about outdoor sports.
Initially drawn to surfing and then highlining, it was ultimately climbing that completely won me over. During lockdown, deprived of access to cliffs and climbing gyms, I built my own climbing wall and made my first holds.
For over five years now, I've been shaping my holds, perfecting textures, and optimizing every stage of production. This adventure gave birth to D'Block Holds: a committed brand of climbing holds where performance and the pleasure of climbing combine with eco-responsibility and French manufacturing.
