I want to put some holds on my walls in my bedroom, the walls are cement but since I'm renting I can't drill holes in the walls. Is there a was I can fasten the holds to the wall without putting holes in them?

sorry man, but any glue you use to put up the holds is either going to be too weak or cause damage to the concrete. Best bet is to either not do it or get permission to drill. You could also build a wooden frame that is not connected to the wall, but that will take some time/effort/money.

I understand not being able to drill big holes for the holds but maybe you could get permission to drill small screw holes. Then you could take some 2x4's and screw them in horizontally. Next just slap some plywood up and screw it into the 2x4's. This is what they do in a lot of school gyms. Most of them are brick walls and they don't want the wall to eat up the gym floor so they just screw up some 2x4's and then plywood to create a vertical wall. I would forget the idea of attaching the holds directly to the concrete wall. Just my opinion.

Dude, if you really want a wall, just go ahead and build a free-standing frame for it. That way you can make it overhanging. A dead-vertical wall is only fun for about 3 minutes and you end up using too-small crimps to make it hard. Go at least 30-degrees to get a workout from it.
By making it free-standing, you'll also be able to take it apart and move it if you need to.
