Anyone point me to reasonably priced but quality holds for a home wall?

Should add, obviously I've googled and researched, just not sure which are value for money are which are not.

Ask your local wall manager, if you get some one that actually cares then they will give you the run down on what works and what doesn't.

Personally I would start with a series of holds that mimics your project route or boulder and train on them. Use screw on smears for feet to build core tension skills and strength.

Secondly I would look for multiple uses, if you rotate your jug hold do you get a good sloper you could use for the future etc.

Be creative with wood from B&Q, just make sure you sand down the edges and make sure the curving edge is large. A small acute radius of edge will bugger tendons.

Core holds are pretty hard to beat.

In reply to BOOGA: If you have the time, wood is best I think. Especially if the wall is somewhere cold.
