About us

Welcome to Lama Lab, a place that smells of wood and where splinters fly!

We started Lama Holds in the "twisted" year of 2020 simply because the bouldering gyms closed and we had nowhere to train. We just wanted to make our own little climbing wall and since Kwjetak (who is, among other things, the guy in charge of new product development at Lama Holds) had a woodworking shop where he sometimes made builds for climbing vans, this was a no-brainer...

The long winters up north

During the long winter of 2020/21, there was plenty of time to build a mini bouldering wall in an empty warehouse near our hometown. But one photo of it on Facebook did wonders - friends started messaging us asking if we could make wooden holds and hangboards for them. The Lama Holds project had begun to take concrete shape.

We added two CNC machines - automatic machine tools - to Kwjetak's otherwise well-equipped workshop and started to fine-tune the first products. At the end of 2020, the first Lama Holds hangboards and wooden holds saw the light of day.

Gentle to nature and the skin of your fingers

We like to keep things simple and clean. That's why we chose wood as the material we give shape to.

Unlike the classic polyurethane holds you know from climbing walls, wood is eco-friendly and kind to the skin of your fingers. What's more, we source it locally - quality Czech beech, birch or maple woods is supplied directly from a small carpentry shop nearby.
