25 Rock Climbing Holds for Indoor and Outdoor Climbing Walls - Monkey Climbing Holds

Johnie: These are nice holds for kids and I would give them 5 Stars......BUT they did not work on our purchased standard climbing wall panels that came with T-Nuts already set. That is my own fault for not realizing the hole pattern before ordering. They would be great on a wall that you are making yourself and can put the T-Nuts where you want--or just screw these into the wood direct. I only sent them back because of the need for two screws so close together. If you are making your own wall, these are a very reasonably priced starter set.

larrylarry: Great holds. Easy any direction. Fairly good instructions. awesome hardware.
2 tips.
1) Drill a small pilot hole before drilling the 1/2" hole. I used a 3/16" and worked wonderfully
2) Throw that 8mm L wrench in your junk drawer and buy an 8mm power bit. You will save yourself tons of time tightening each and every screw. Couldn't imagine trying to do this with the 8mm L wrench. The power bit also makes quick work of unassembling all the screws that come with nut and washers already attached (which is nice for shipping)

SulentJ: TLDR- You may need to hunt for shorter bolts depending on your needs. The grips seem decent, though a little smaller size-wise than the original set. My kids, ages 3-9 seems okay with them though.

One of the bullet points on the description states 'COMPLETE INDUSTRIAL HARDWARE INCLUDED' with '2.5" Galvanized Steel Allen Head Bolts". While this may be true, it may not fit your needs as it did not fit mine. I was replacing a rock wall on a playset which utilized 1" x 6" boards. Most smooth boards are about an 1/8 of an inch smaller than the common measurement, so I was really dealing with about 7/8" thick boards. The holds, with washers, are about 1/2" thick (where the bolt goes through). Since the "weld nuts" (T-Nuts) flush mount, this leaves a good inch or so exposed on the back side. The existing holds used short screws which did not protrude at all from the T-Nut, but I was unable to reuse them. I was concerned the little ones would likely hit their head on the thirty or so exposed bolts. I researched for a bit to see if I could find a set with shorter bolts, but this seems to be pretty common. I figured, worse case I'd cut the excess off. I looked around and these bolts...

wirecutter68wirecutter68: These worked perfect for the sized rock wall I needed. I built a 4x7 rock wall and the 25 pcs worked great. They are definitely easy to install and seem to be very good quality. Time will tell how the quality really is but so far so good. My wife and I have both climbed on these as well without any issues.

One thing I do recommend, is to use an allen bit with a power drill instead of the one provided (if you have or want to quickly purchase one). I only say this because it definitely saved a lot of time vs having to manually screw down all the bolts (50 of them). I just happened to have one already but using the provided wrench will still work and is simple.

Goth Gone GreyGoth Gone Grey: These are a great addition to a play set for kids, or beginners at rock climbing. They're brightly colored, sturdy, and a relatively larger size suitable to easier climbing.

The pieces all have the same space between screws, which makes it easy to set up and install them with a template for where to drill the holes. The bolts and all hardware are included, as well as all 25 listed pieces. I took a picture of a representative sample just to show all angles of them.

Some of the pieces were loose in the box upon arrival, not still in the bag. They're sturdy, so this wasn't a problem but worth noting. All of the hardware remained contained in its own bag.
