Hi,
I am from the Northeast India, Shillong.I am building a climbing wall at home, its not big,but enough to train and keep in touch.I have bought some holds from Delhi,India, but sadly they are not quality products. With a small budget I am now looking to see if i can buy used holds.
Thanks.
Neil
Neil thanks so much for your question. Typically the best way to get holds for your own home wall are the following.
1. Make your own holds
2. Buy larger sets from hold companies
3. Contact rock climbing gyms/associations about buying some of their used climbing holds.
The best option for you probably in India is the third.
I have found a few places for you to start looking ...but I am sure there are more gyms around.
