Thanks for Picking Up a Wyrdstone

Welcome to Druid Holds.

We’re stoked you’re holding a Wyrdstone in your hands — thanks for supporting a small Australian maker. Every piece is hand-finished by me (Ben), with a lot of care. You're not just buying a training tool; you're joining a growing community of climbers who believe in crafting their strength with intention.

  • Suggested Training Session

    The Wyrdstone isn’t just a tool — it’s a ritual. A small act repeated with focus can unlock strength over time. Here’s a session to get you started:

    Phase 1: Warm-Up & Activation

    • Start by easing into the session:
      Loop the cord around your foot and take the most comfortable edge (flat or rounded).
    • With a straight arm, apply gentle tension by pushing down with your foot and pulling slightly with your fingers.
    • Curl your fingers into the edge slowly — not full effort, just enough to engage the muscles.
    • Repeat 5-10 times per hand.
    • Maintain a steady grip while pulsing your foot to add and release resistance.
    • Focus on control and connection between your hand and shoulder.
    • Do 3-5 holds per hand, around 5–8 seconds each.

    Phase 2: Max Effort Hangs or Lifts

    Now that you’re warm, it’s time to push:

    • Set up your Wyrdstone for max effort pulls using one of the following:
    1. With weights as a lifting block (clip them to the cord)
    2. With a Tindeq or force gauge
    3. Or simply with foot resistance, pressing down hard
    • Your goal:
      → 10 seconds of full effort – where you’re trying as hard as you can without form breaking down.
    • Rest 1-2 minutes between efforts
    • Repeat 3–5 times per hand

    This is where strength is built — slowly, consistently, and with intention.

  • Record Yourself Climbing

    Don’t forget — your Wyrdstone doubles as a phone stand.

    Set it up to record your climbing sessions. Watching yourself climb is like gaining a second set of eyes — you’ll catch things you didn’t feel in the moment:

    • Notice the small mistakes that hold you back
    • Revisit the send that felt easy and understand why
    • Track your progress over time, one go at a time

    Use your footage to learn, adapt, and keep shaping your fate.
