How are climbing holds made from start to finish?

We manufacture our fibreglass macros through a layered moulding process that prioritises strength, consistency, and repeatability.

To understand more about our process, go to hold manufacturing process.

Or, if you want to look at designing your own holds, go to custom hold manufacturing

It starts with your design, either a 3D file or physical prototype. We will help refine the design with you to ensure it performs both as a climbing feature and as a manufacturable product. Once finalised, we create a fibreglass mould designed for consistent production.

From there, we build each hold using a six-layer fibreglass layup inside the mould. This forms a hollow shell with a 4–5mm wall thickness, reinforced further in high-stress areas like bolt zones. Metal inserts are integrated during this stage to ensure secure fixing.

The hold is then left to cure under climate controlled ambient conditions. We avoid heat-assisted curing because it can negatively affect long-term strength and integrity.

After curing, we move into finishing, applying our proprietary texture blend, followed by a durable paint system. Each hold goes through multiple quality checks before being packaged.

The result is a consistent, high-performance macro built for commercial use.
