Nice site. Just hit up 2 hold manufactureres I never saw advertised before and bought some stuff. A place for us to add input will be greatly appreciated too.
You should also judge hold durability, longevity so to say. Not all walls are indoors. Some of my holds have been outside exposed to the full elements for over 15 years, at temps of 10 below or 100 above. Amazing how some have held up with little loss of texture or even colors.

Out of interest who did you hit up for holds?
What you can do for the time being is to add comments to the reviews that are up there, if you have anything to say then say it. The comments are moderated purely for language. I'll check em and let them through.

I'm planning to have a feedback form fairly soon so I can guage peoples experiences of the holds and the people that make them

I'm also going to do what I call a "blind taste test", I'm going to order a hold from each company (all on the same day) and i'm going to see who can get their ass in gear the fastest, has the best customer service etc

Thanks

Jeremy

I'll say this for Nicros. Nice holds, original shapes, good texture but they seem to wait until you place an order before they pour stuff. I've had almost a month wait for my last 2 orders from them for biggie features or holds.
Will post up the new stuff when it comes in. One has already shipped(3 Ball Climbing)in one day.

We should have some new Delire holds tonight, so we'll have a review up soon.
The shapes are petty simple but they_are_cheap

OK< here's my first 'review' of new holds. 3 Ball Climbing gets an 'A+' for fast order processing and delivery, but then again this small order (fit in a 5 by 8 inch box),cost 9.99 for shipping. Texture is typical good stuff, nothing to get over excited about. Design, shape is OK; maybe I needed to pick some other shapes to try out. I was a bit let down at the small size of the 'fist and 'foot hold I ordered for their price. Must have missed that on the webpage. But the bag of 10 screw ons was a bargain as they are much larger than I expected. Would have got another bag of 10 for the cost of the other 2 small holds. They all look outdoor durable, but right now these will go up on my new indoor winter wall being built this weekend.
