Hey all. Im a freshman at college and just rigged up a 4x8' "wall" in my dorm room. We have a small gym on campus but its only open Tuesday and Thursday and Its starting to rain so the weekend trips are gonna have to stop. I have no car so buying online is kinda the only option. Wheres the absolute cheapest place to get holds? Im looking for more advanced crimps and slopers-preferably bolt on. Thanks guys!

It is REALLY easy to make wooden crimpers and slopers.

Ebay. Big Synrock holds can typically go for $2-3 each.

There's a phone number to reach Carl Keene, just tell him what you want and he'll select the holds for you.
This is the cheapest I found and I've had my holds for about 2 years now.
