looking for holds for kids program Ages 7-12

Post by eggersd »

HI, I 'm looking for holds, generally larger ones that might be OK for a small and low 16' wide traversing wall for kids ages 7-12. Nothing too technical, but fun in our kids program at Quest Community Church (Lexington, KY). We have a limited budget, but looking for some good holds that someone might want to sell cheap because they want smaller ones. We're looking for larger - "easy" ones.
Thanks,
-Derek

Hey Derek-

I can't help you out directly but might be able to point you in a direction. Check out HRT holds (part of extreme engineering). They have holds of all sizes and shapes, many of which are kid friendly. When we purchased some holds from them a few years back they were very reasonably priced. They have also held up quite well. Compared to many of the other hold companies they may be your best bet.

How many holds might you need?
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Thanks. Wow! The climbing community has been so generous to us. Many of you have offered great advice, and even donated some holds, and offered to sell good used ones at great prices. Thank you.

Dipsi -- we're probably looking to buy about 100 more holds, depending on what else comes in.

Thanks everyone for your huge generosity. You have been so kind.
