i have read many post on holds....

i want to start a wall in my house room, but i haven't decided which company or which holds should i buy....

consider to buy the kinda multi-holds, i mean the packages, or buy one by one?

well hope someone could share their experience, i really want to buy it the sooner!!!

i saw atomik holds and cheap hold like the options... but what do you know?

the kinda wall i want is like a training one, and like in 45 vertical....
and later on add more and more holds}


THANKS :!:

My advice would be to buy sets from a few different companies.

Atomic and Morganic are both pretty cheap, and very nice material, bulk up on these.

Get some standard metolius or nicros jugs.

Frankins are nice, some of their Virtual rock slopers are sweet.

Voodoos are the bees knees, specialy the bigger ones.

Stone Age has some sweet shapes, not my favorite texture.

And of course get some of the So Ill holds that are totally different then anything on the market.

One or two sets of each and you'll have a sweet variety of fun holds.

having just finished my wall, I strongly suggest morganic climbing. they gave me great holds with awsome friction and you pay per hold. overall the best thing I could find.

I agree with the above - buy morganic and cheap holds as your base. Get a few jugs from metolius, they're great for warming up, especially if you have a 45 degree angle wall. Then add a few holds from other companies to fill in gaps and when you have a couple of bucks.

i would try your local climbing gym and see if you can get some old holds for cheap, or ask them what they use
