HOLDS

Your selection of climbing holds plays an important part in the experience that your climbing wall offers, attracting climbers to your facility. 

For bouldering walls it is recommended to use 5 to 15 holds per wall section while for lead walls, 3-4 holds per metre are advised for a hard route and 6-7 holds for an easy route.

We offer a range of EP Holds adapted to all different levels and movements:

Shauna Coxsey Range

Shauna Coxsey Range

Shaped by Olympian Shauna Coxsey, these holds are designed to interconnect with each other. This allows for setters to create stoppers or to improve holds by pairing them together, increasing the amount of possibilities for climbers.

Atami Range

Atami Range

These shapes are more voluminous and allow 3D climbing, offering challenges for both beginners and experts. Atami (which means wave in Japanese), shaped under "la dent de Crolles", Rhône Alpes, offers a whole range of outstanding shapes.

Simon Range

Simon Range

An EP shaper for over three years, Simon is now developing his own range and bringing a wave of originality. These pure and simple shapes reflect a modern style of climbing.

KIDS RANGE

The EP Holds “Kids” range of soft and ergonomic grips are adapted for the hands of children. These holds can be used to set routes on a climbing wall, or build fun traverse wall challenges. Most of this range are certified for playgrounds, guaranteeing the safety of children climbing on them.

TRAINING RANGE

Training helps climbers to develop their skills and strength.

EP Holds offer fun, compact hangboards made with the “SoftTouch” texture, specially designed to protect your skin whilst training.

Campus rungs and wooden balls encourage progression by introducing new grips and various moves. These tools allow you to train your fingers, forearms, and biceps.

SHAUNA'S RANGE

"I am so excited to share the latest set of holds from my range with EP Climbing. The vision for the latest set is that a route setter could create an entire circuit with these holds alongside the previous range, which is why I was really busy creating lots of new shapes to add to the collection!
Continuing the principles from the previous set, these holds are designed to interconnect with each other so setters can create stoppers or improve holds by pairing them together increases the number of possibilities for the setter."

Shauna Coxsey, MBE
