hey y'all yesterday there were two threads that could use some juxtaposition - plastic v. stone & a spanish one about making one's own holds (fabricacion de presas?), which contained a post about a Costa Rican hold company that makes natural stone holds - to-wit:
In reply to: fmdedsd said: En CR tenemos la Bribri Holds que son de piedra natural, muy buenas, por si quiere comprar unas!!... I can't find any info on Bribri Holds online or through a Forums search - I did find info on people gluing natural stone et al. onto concrete; I've also read of the legendary bridge out Bethany way here in OK that was a sweet climbing spot for 7 years 'til the city tore it down (it was rocks glued to a bridge wall) so - any info on Bribri holds or other natural stone holds? I wanna build a small wall for my son but am not a big fan of plastic . . . except that epoxy is fun to work with I know this doesn't even speak to the eternal gym debate, except as to materials, but whatever thanks y'all leinosaur

here's your solution. cheap, fun, and you are in complete creative control: 1) go outside 2) pick up rocks 3) aquire a wet saw 4) cut rocks in half 5) drill hole in each rock 6) attach to wall as you would any prefab plastic hold
