What New Products is SICgrips Envisioning for the Future?

Where is SICgrips headed in the future? Well...to give you a hint, here's an outline of some proposednew grip models and devices. Sorry, no timeline is available yet. These may or may not result in production models for sale but thought we'd leak a few tidbits just so that you know we're not resting on the accolades of the current Gstring models (or out climbing all the time!) We continue to push the envelope on innovation in training devices for climbers.

Where is SICgrips headed in the future? Well…to give you a hint, here's an outline of some proposed portable grip models and devices that are currently on the drawing board - sorry no timeline available. These may or may not result in production models for sale but thought we'd leak a few tid-bits just so that you know were not resting on the accolades of the current Gstring models (or out climbing all the time!) We continue to push the envelope on innovation in training devices for climbers.

We don't want to give away too much at this point but they're based on the values we established when we started up SICgrips: quality, simplicity, versatility, and functional beauty. Most of the proposed grips will feature some type of 3D adjustability along with some new ideas and and maybe a variety of materials. They're listed in descending order of size in relation to our two current products. These are working names for the most part and may or may not be renamed: 

Ladder Rocks
Gstring PRO 
Gstring Classic (original)
*Chock Rocks (probably the next product out) 
Gstring Minis (or Pocket Rocks)

Beside these, we're in the think and test stage of the following products will utilize the grips listed above and/or traditional climbing holds:

Gstring Gallows (folding doorway hanger for Gstrings and mount for holds/hangboards)
Crack Rack
Virtual Gstring Campus Bar

Stay tuned…

Also, we'll soon be sharing a way to easily and accurately set Gstrings in order to record and track your training.
