About Taylor Made Holds

Taylor Made Holds is a North Wales based climbing hold company built and founded by me, James Taylor.

I have been climbing for longer than I can remember and making wooden holds for over 6 years, growing my skills and knowledge as a woodworker year on year.

I have a large home training setup with 15°, 35°, 45° and 55° boards... so I know what feels good on each angle and how to make holds to suit.

I would consider myself an all round rock climber and have climbed up to 8c, V13 and E9/10. I attribute almost all my improvements and progression to training on my beloved board, which I fortunately have attached to the workshop!

Although nowadays more of of a home bird who enjoys the hills and crags of Wales, I have spent a lot of time climbing abroad, DWS in Vietnam, big walls in Madagascar, Brazil, Yosemite, Norway and limestone in sunny Spain to name a few.

I hope that my experience over so many styles and rock types, along with my passion and love for woodwork shines through in the holds I shape and create.
