Climbing holds..what would you do?

Post by **pigsteak** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 5:20 pm

Just built a small home wall. It is 30 degrees over hanging. I bought a few sets of holds, but seem to not like every hold in a particular set. Any home wall owner have suggestions for hold sets they absolutely love? Seems with this angle, many slopers are not real useable.

I like Voodoo, Franklin, some Groperz, and some Metolius holds. Will try anything.

This place has some pretty cool holds - and cheap too compared to others! We use some of them in the climbing gym here in Indy and the holds are of great quality.

thanks squeeze..I just ordered some screw ons. how does the texture feel on the larger holds? I don't like rough holds, but slick blows too.

The texture's great, imo. A little rough initially, but all holds are like that straight out of the packaging anyway. I have yet to set a route with these holds actually, bec Jared hogs them all the time!

Oh, and they usually sell them on ebay too! That's where we usually snag them.

Stone Age. Best bang for the buck. Voodoo and Nicros as well.

yeah, I picked up some nicros on the cheap. Mark Postel from columbus (now living in Smith Rocks) used to work for StoneAge..we toured their facility a few years ago when in Oregon.

Man, you cannot go wrong with Stoner Age. I wish they still had their woody kits. They had 60 good holds for $200. Voodoo is ok, their Sandstone series got pretty greasy pretty quickly. I like Nicros, but sand them sawbatches down first. Entreprise are FRIKKIN SWEET too. They have a bunch of good sets as well.
