Wanted - Climbing Wall Hand Holds
« on: July 12, 2012 »
Does anyone have any contacts or know of a good place to get climbing wall hand holds? (i.e. any old second hand ones from a club that doesn't use them anymore?)

New is grand as well just a cheaper alternative would be great.

Thanks

If you don't know what they are you will when you see them

I'd like to know this too, my manager wants to build a climbing wall.

You thinking of putting a few up around the house Oisin?

Not around the house as such, but there are ideas to build a bouldering area in our Scout Hall for the little 'uns.

Of course I'f have to test it first.

had thought about doing the same in our scout hall, but check the insurance to see if you're covered first!

have you tried ebay? i remember seeing some going for approx £1 per hold if you bought in bulk, they're were probably wee small ones though

As far as I'm aware as long as the holds aren't over 6ft tall then its not a problem (could be wrong), and all you need is a helmet.

I checked on ebay and they seemed to start around that price, only thing was you had to buy a pack of 100. I'm not even sure if you could fit in 100 holds, its probably much more than you'd think  ;D
