Plastic holds just aren't cool!CLEANING OUT THE FACTORY! Holds are from unmatched sets - or discoloration - or slightly chipped - or experimental holds - or holds that just aren't in a set - or something else that kept me from selling them. All are fine to climb on and feel better than plastic.
Most are new (although they have been sitting around for years) but some may be used - used synrock feels the same as new. BOLTS ARE NOT INCLUDED in this set - although each hold has been fitted to make sure bolt hole is straight and can be bolted on. Initial bid is super cheap because I need the room. Holds must go.
Synrock won Climbing Magazine editor's choice award for good reason. Once you climb on synrock holds you'll never want to climb on plastic holds. Cool to the touch with real sandstone texture.
Amazingly comfortable shapes. Hold master shapes not from a carved block of foam (the method that all plastic hold companies use) but a secret hold shaping method that yields the most comfortable holds imaginable.
Holding on to a beautiful piece of sandstone is one of the great joys of climbing.

SHIPPING -
The goal behind all of my auctions is to fit as many holds as possible into a USPS large flat rate shipping box. If it fits, it ships. This gives the most holds for the cheapest shipping possible - and it's fast 2 day shipping at that. This is such a cheap shipping option that you CANNOT SAVE MONEY BY COMBINING ORDERS for large flat boxes. Any attempt to put 2 or 3 auctions into a larger box and shipping ups or parcel post is always more expensive. For Small Flat Rate box sets I can usually fit 6 of those into one medium flat rate box so that can save you money.
Why Synrock ceramic is superior for home walls
Price - Synrock ceramic holds are always going to be about 1/2 the price of plastic. The raw ingredients are much cheaper and the expensive silicone molds last much longer poured with our chemically bonded ceramic instead of plastic polyurethane. You will always get twice as many equal sized holds for the money using synrock.
Durability - synrock is hard like rock. It doesn’t polish into a slick no friction surface as happens with ALL plastic holds. Your grandkids will still be climbing on these holds long after those polished pieces of plastic are thrown away.
No SPIN! Plastic polyurethane is essentially hard rubber. It’s flexible. You need to tighten urethane holds - and then retighten them as the material relaxes with time. And then retighten them a day later.... And then they are still going to spin on you when you least expect. This is why gym routesetters use impact drills to try to keep holds from spinning even though those are bad for t-nuts. Tighten a plastic hold and most of the force is concentrated at the bolt hole. Little force is applied to the edges of the hold where all of the leverage exists to spin the hold. Ceramic is so stiff that force from the bolt is directed everywhere equally on the hold. Synrock ceramic is one of the stiffest materials known to man and just a tiny bit of tightening locks them in place and keeps them from spinning. You can rapidly change synrock holds around with minimal tightening. No set screws needed.
No CLEANING! Plastic holds use foam for the master shape which has negative texture. The sole reason for this is because it delays polishing. Negative texture is like climbing on a cheese grater. Lots of holes to get filled up with chalk and bits of skin and shoe rubber - which then makes the surface slick until you clean it with a pressure washer. Synrock positive texture is exactly like choice sandstone. At most just a light brushing is all that is needed - just like actual sandstone.
Comfort. COOL TO THE TOUCH! I can’t over emphasize how pleasurable it is to climb on cool holds. Plastic is an insulator and when you train hard your hands get hot - synrock or real rock has high thermal conductivity and heat capacity to remove heat to keep your hands cool. Plastic is an insulator. Avoid the plastic burn with cool to touch synrock.
