Material

Only the highest grade materials make it into our holds. A reinforced composite resin makes them both hardwearing and high strength.

Core Climbing holds conform and exceed
- EN 12572-3, Artificial Climbing Structures - Part 3: Safety requirements and test methods for climbing holds.

Larger holds have been reduced to make them lighter in weight and easier to handle.

Fixing

  

All holds (excluding screw-ons) can take either a countersunk or cap head bolt as standard. For larger holds or holds with an elongated shape, we have added a counter screw placement to prevent spinning on wooden walls. For the Mini Volumes, we advise using a bolt and at least three screws.

We recommend that our bolt-on holds are fixed to a GRP or plywood surface, The following torque settings are designed to be an approximate guide for fixing the holds to an even flat surface to prevent spinning and breakages:

Mini Bolt-ons, Crimps, Mini Jugs            20-25Nm

Pockets, Pinches, Medium Jugs             25-35Nm

Large Jugs, Slopers                               35-40Nm

Bolthole with a caphead and a countersunk bolt.

 

Cleaning

To effectively clean the holds and reduce the chance of colour fading or surface damage, we advise cleaning in cold water only, preferably with a jetwash.

 

We also recommend the use of Benky Gripwash, following the manufacturers cleaning guidelines of 6 minutes exposure to a 50% or higher solution, and briefly rinsing in clean cold water afterwards. A pre-rinse in water will also help by removing the surface chalk and prolonging the effectiveness of the Gripwash.

Colours

The pigments we use are bright and consistent.
We offer a range of 12 colours:

The In/Outdoor colour range is fully UV stable and can be used on both indoor and outdoor walls.

The Bright colour range is best suited for indoor walls, making eye-catching routes. These are not recommended for outdoor use due to low uv resistance which overtime will dull the appearance of the holds.
