K16 CLIMBING HOLD is a Japanese hold brand shaped by the vision and experience of World Cup champion Keiichiro Korenaga.
Every K16 hold is designed and manufactured in Japan, informed by elite competition and years of refined climbing intuition. The goal is simple: holds that train the whole climber—power, technique, and sensitivity—without excess or distraction.
The range is divided into distinct series, each with a clear purpose. Athene emphasizes physical engagement through sculpted, spoon-cut forms. Pallas sharpens technical decision-making. Lucina targets pinch strength, while Eris explores subtle edges and smooth contact. Additional lines such as Rear, Surf, Alba, and Noah expand movement options for thoughtful, modern setting.
Designed for setters and climbers alike, K16 holds integrate seamlessly with other brands and suit everything from daily training to high-level competition. Quietly precise and purpose-built, they are tools made to last—and to be climbed well.
