Anybody know any good places to get them for a decent price? Also is there any standard on how many holds per sq ft on a home climing wall?
thanks

Couldn't figure out what you meant by blots. And then, "oh, bolts."
When you buy holds, the t-nut and bolt will usually come included.

Yup, holds don't always come with t nuts and bolts depending on where you get them from. One to Two holds per square foot is a good number depending on how many holes you feel like drilling and how many t nuts you want to buy and hammer in. More is better though. You can get some good prices online from gearexpress.com or cheapholds.com. They should give you free shipping if your order goes over a certain amount. However if you're not ordering that much shipping will be pricey since t nus and bolts are heavy. You could also try looking in the yellow pages for an industrial nut and bolt supplier. Try looking under headings like "fasteners", or maybe construction suppliers. If the places you call don't have what you are looking for they can usually steer you in the right direction. Places like Home Depot or Ace Hardware usually charge WAY too much for this type of thing since they do not set their prices for selling in large quantities. You should expect to pay somewhere around $0.10 per t nut and $0.50 per bolt, unless you are putting your wall outside and you want stainless steel hardware which doesn't rust. Stainless steel hardware gets expensive very quickly. Good luck.
