• Commercial Grade Durability

    Built specifically for commercial climbing environments where holds are expected to withstand years of route setting and heavy traffic.

  • Modern Route Setting

    Designed around contemporary movement styles including coordination, body positioning, compression and competition-style climbing.

  • Lightweight Construction

    Fibreglass construction allows large features to remain lightweight while maintaining structural integrity.

  • Exceptional Value

    Commercial-quality fibreglass macros at a significantly lower cost than many premium international brands.

Category Overview

Fibreglass macro climbing holds have become one of the most important tools in modern route setting. Larger hold shapes allow route setters to create movement that would be difficult or impossible using traditional polyurethane holds alone. From large compression features and body-positioning sequences through to modern competition climbing, macros have transformed how climbing walls are designed and experienced.

Chompers fibreglass macro climbing holds are designed specifically for commercial climbing gyms and facilities seeking durable, lightweight and cost-effective route setting features. Our range focuses on large-format holds and competition-style features that support modern climbing movement while remaining practical for daily commercial use.

Unlike smaller climbing holds, macros become structural elements within the route. They influence body positioning, movement direction, coordination and overall climbing style. Because of this, durability, weight and texture become critical considerations.

Our fibreglass construction allows large shapes to remain lightweight and easy to handle while maintaining the strength required for commercial environments. The result is a hold that is easier for route setters to work with while still delivering long-term performance.

Whether used on steep overhangs, vertical terrain or competition walls, fibreglass macros provide route setters with the tools required to create engaging and memorable climbing experiences.

Buying Guide

Fibreglass Macro Climbing Holds Buying Guide

Modern route setting has changed dramatically over the last decade. Large-format fibreglass macro holds are now common across commercial climbing gyms, competitions and training facilities because they allow route setters to create movement that traditional hold sets cannot achieve.

What Are Macro Climbing Holds?

Macro climbing holds are oversized climbing features that influence how climbers move through a route. Rather than serving as simple handholds or footholds, macros often dictate body positioning, movement direction and route style.

They are commonly used to create:

• Compression climbing

• Dynamic movement

• Coordination sequences

• Feature climbing

• Competition-style movement

Why Commercial Gyms Use Macros

Commercial climbing gyms increasingly rely on macros because they create more memorable climbing experiences and allow route setters greater creativity.

Macros can transform otherwise simple wall sections into complex and engaging climbing challenges.

Weight Matters

Large climbing holds can become difficult to install if they are excessively heavy.

Fibreglass construction allows route setters to work with larger shapes while maintaining manageable weight.

This improves installation efficiency and reduces handling strain.

Durability Considerations

Commercial facilities should evaluate:

• Construction quality

• Surface durability

• Texture longevity

• Hardware durability

• Resistance to repeated handling

A well-built fibreglass hold should provide years of commercial service.

Route Setting Applications

Macros are particularly effective for:

• Competition climbing

• Modern commercial route setting

• Coordination climbing

• Body positioning challenges

• Compression sequences

• Large movement problems

Common Buying Mistakes

• Purchasing solely based on appearance

• Ignoring weight considerations

• Choosing holds with poor texture durability

• Purchasing sets that do not suit facility demographics

• Failing to consider route-setting versatility

Why Facilities Choose Chompers

Many facilities choose Chompers because they want modern route-setting features without paying premium-brand pricing. The result is commercial-grade performance with significantly better value.

The Short Answer

Fibreglass macro climbing holds are large-format climbing features designed to create modern route-setting movement styles such as compression climbing, coordination sequences and competition-style climbing. Their lightweight construction allows route setters to use larger shapes without the excessive weight often associated with oversized climbing holds.

Chompers fibreglass macro climbing holds are designed for commercial climbing gyms, competition facilities and training centres seeking durable and cost-effective route-setting solutions. Built around commercial durability and modern climbing movement, they provide route setters with versatile tools for creating engaging climbing experiences.
