Home Climbing Wall Hand Holds

You can install our hand holds anywhere there is a T-nut using the included installation instructions. We put 66 T-nuts on each 4' x 8' climbing panel to give you many placement options for the 20 holds included with each panel. Many people choose to create climbing routes by placing holds of a single color in such a way that climbers can make it across or up the climbing wall using holds of only that one color. To learn more about route-setting, please read this blog post.

All of our hand holds utilize 1¾" socket head cap screws. We standardized the size and type of hardware to make it easier to install and relocate hand holds.

A 5/16" Allen wrench is used to install and remove our hand holds.

Our climbing walls include hand holds. We provide a variety of sizes and shapes to help climbers of varying abilities and experience levels find success. If you have a custom project, our team will discuss the hand hold options and help you choose the right ones for your climbers.

We include 20 hand holds per 4' x 8' climbing panel. We feel this quantity provides many options for climbers to find holds that will work best for them. If you have a custom project, our team will discuss the appropriate quantity for your project.

Typically, larger and easy-to-grasp holds are best for beginner climbers. Smaller, more technical holds are great for more experienced climbers.

Yes. Our hand holds are installed with a bolt that can be loosened or removed with the included Allen wrench to easily re-orient, remove, or relocate hand holds. Read these tips for installing hand holds.

Inspect: Periodically inspect your climbing hand holds and remove and replace any that have cracks, chips or signs of wear.

Tighten: Over time, some hand holds may loosen and spin. This is normal. Grab your Allen wrench and tighten the hold until it is secure against the climbing wall. Be sure not to overtighten. See the installation instructions.

Clean and dry: When the holds are visibly dirty or slick with chalk, it is time to clean them. The easiest way is to remove them and put them in a dishwasher with or without detergent using the normal cycle. Choose air dry for the drying cycle so they are not heated while drying.

If you do not have a dishwasher, hand wash holds in warm water with a mild detergent and scrub them with a soft bristle brush. Never use a wire brush.

Remove and replace if needed: This is also a good time to inspect your holds. Look for any cracks, chips or holds that have gotten overly smooth. Those holds should be replaced and not re-installed on the climbing wall.
