About Us

Deathgrips was founded in Salt Lake City in 2024 by Elijah Forbes, drawing upon 11 years of industry experience in hold production, routesetting, and involvement at the highest level of competitions.

Deathgrips looks to challenge conventional hold shaping by using digital design - creating holds that are comfortable, easy to use, and affordable. The focus has always been on optimizing functionality rather than adhering to traditional methods.

We are proud to be working with industry leaders, Aragon Elastomers, to offer the highest quality of holds.
