Star Holds - Company Profile

The sport of artificial rock climbing has taken off in Australia and New Zealand with many new high school gymnasiums building indoor climbing walls as well as commercial gymnasiums and home bouldering walls.

With the development of climbing walls comes the development of climbing holds.

On the web site are the various sizes and shapes of available holds. Made of quality resin and available in a variety of shapes and colours they range from small pockets to large jugs, from crimpers to bulbous forearm trainers. The sets can be purchased by size or suitablity of purpose.
