Design

Materials – Polyurethane (PU) Danomond
To realise the ambitious new shapes of Imitation Holds a high-end material was required.
All of our holds are manufactured in the latest technologically advanced Polyurethane (PU). Dannonmond is fast becoming the industry standard for climbing holds. This premium material exhibits;
- High abrasion resistance
- High Strength
- Impact resistance
- Easy to clean
- Lighter than traditional PE (Polyester Resin)
These features provide significant advantage for route setters and climbers alike.
Sizes

Hollow back
Larger Imitation Climbing Holds feature Hollow Back technology. This greatly reduces the weight of the polyurethane climbing holds making it easier to handle while route setting. Using less material reduces your shipping costs and benefits the environment.
Dual Fixing
All holds feature a dual bolt washer in the bolt hole to allow both countersunk and cap head bolts as standard. The main fixing point requires a M10 countersunk or cap head bolt. Most Imitation Holds include a secondary fixing point. A 5mm screw, with a full length thread, should be used and prevents holds from spinning.
All Fixings (Bolts and Screws) are included within the climbing hold sets.
Colours
Website colours are shown for illustrative purposes and may not be an exact representation of the colour of the product.
