Meet Enigma

Design, detail and hard work

Rob has decades of experience which has taken him all over the world, climbing on a variety of rock types in a range of styles, from sport climbing and bouldering, to trad and alpine. This has driven his inspiration for the volume manufacturing, routesetting, and hold-shaping Enigma provides.

Rob has been manufacturing plywood volumes for over 20 years. The early days saw a great deal of experimentation in an emerging field, which has been carefully refined into a high quality process, employing CNC manufacturing, bespoke tooling and complex finishing techniques.

Enigma’s hold shaping designs span a variety of products and styles, from fibreglass and polycarbonate macros to contemporary and clean shapes, to rock texture holds.

Longevity is a core principle at Enigma. Our plywood volumes are built to last a long time, providing excellent value. 

Care

All our products are supplied with detailed technical data sheets that include comprehensive care instructions, helping you get as much life out of your volume as possible.

Reuse

Our excellent build quality also means that our products are serviceable – volumes can be cleaned, refinished and recoated, making them last even longer on your wall.

Repair

Our careful refurbishing service restores volumes to a like-new condition. Detailed analysis is carried out and a determination is made on how best to service fixation points, fasteners and finishes.
