Other history shows: Entre Prises: In 1983 French climber François Savigny began experimenting with molding holds from resin and put a bolt hole in the middle so the holds could be moved around. Savingly founded the company Entre Prises, and made the first molded holds in 1985, and created climbing panels in 1986. In Europe, Savigny put climbing walls in municipal buildings and schools, fabricated boulders for parks, and sold holds to climbers. In 1988 while attending a trade show in Las Vegas, Savingly approached Metolius and asked to team up with them to import his Entire Prises holds. Allen Watts and Chris Grover left Metolius and founded Entre Prises USA, where Doug Phillips of Metolius invested in the Entre Prises company. Entre Prises - Metolius, - October 1988 advertisement
