If your home wall is starting to feel stale—or you’re skipping sessions because every move feels the same—it might be time for a reset. Just like cleaning your holds or sweeping crash pads, resetting your routes is a critical part of keeping your climbing fresh, fun, and productive.
At Ledge Climbing, we’re firm believers that small changes make a big impact. Here’s how to refresh your wall this summer—and why our handmade holds are the perfect way to reinspire your climbing.
Signs It’s Time to Reset Your Routes
If any of these sound familiar, you’re overdue:
-
You’ve memorized every move.
-
You’re skipping your home sessions.
-
You’re no longer challenged by your setup.
-
Visiting friends cruise your “hard” problems.
Good news: you don’t need a full overhaul. With a few strategic swaps and fresh ideas, you can give your wall new life.
5 Ways to Refresh Your Wall Without Rebuilding
1. Strip It and Start Over
Pull everything down and rebuild from a clean slate. This lets you rethink movement, spacing, and hold usage.
2. Reassign Color or Tape Themes
Assign new grading colors or use tape to change up old problems. It forces new beta and fresh eyes on the wall.
3. Rotate and Reuse Holds Differently
Try flipping a jug into a sloper, turning a crimp sideways, or stacking volumes. Our hand-shaped holds are designed for creative reuses.
4. Add a New Set or Two
Inject new movement into your wall with a small batch hold set. Even 4-5 new pieces can inspire dozens of new problems.
5. Set by Movement, Not Grade
Design problems around skill: compression, balance, deadpoints, or footwork challenges. This builds better climbers—and keeps things fun.
