Get the most for your money with Factory Seconds…discounted WAY below retail pricing. Climbing holds that do not make the cut for “New” are considered Factory Seconds. Often the holds have color or texture imperfections. All climbing hold seconds are completely functional and ready to bolt or screw on the wall. Each set will have a variety of sizes, styles, and colors. These may include our other brands (Kingdom, Working Class, Fusion, Friction) or wood holds too!
And don't forget, with seconds you can leave notes for us in the comments section to help us pick your holds. Commercial gym on a budget? Let us know what colors you set with and we can dig them out. Looking for some sweet holds to keep your homewall fresh on the cheap? Let us know the wall angle and the style of holds you prefer (jugs, pinches, footholds, screw-ons, super nasty crimps, etc) in the comments and we will do our best to find them for you!"
If we have overstock we often sell them as seconds to clear out inventory. The production guys have been known to play around with fun color combinations to spice up the seconds bin every once in a while too. Offering seconds is just one way we like to serve climbing gyms on a budget!
I love the variety of holds that I received in the 25 pound box of factory seconds. Exactly what I asked for. Will be using Escape again in the future.
I made a request for some incut crimps and a big jug to use as a finish hold and its exactly what the sent! Plus some other great holds I didn't even know I wanted! I loved the variety and shapes. I know it's a "get what they got" kind of deal but they really took the time to search for what I wanted! So grateful for them!
I was excited. I had ordered a smaller box a few months ago when I first built my home wall for my family. They were good but mostly out of our strength and skill level, so I ordered a 40 lb box and requested a lot of nice, beginner friendly positive jugs to fill out the wall while we get stronger. I was disappointed to find that the order contained only about 30% what I requested and was otherwise filled with very large, heavy extremely negative slopers and flat features that are useless on a 20 degree wall for even high level climbers. I don't have the money for the volumes I would need to mount them to make them useful even as we improve. I feel like they were just getting rid of things they've had on hand and loaded the order with really large, heavy features instead of what we asked for. If they didn't have them that would have been fine, but I would have appreciated a message before sending me $300 out of a $500 order that I can't use.
I left a note with my board angle, grade range, and some hold preferences (ie. screw ons or easily drilled out, wooden holds, etc.) and they were able to put together a great selection of holds that fit my wall and training goals really well. Some surprises that made opening the box exciting and even some sets of multiple holds in the same family that make setting across the whole board really fun.
Planning on ordering even more sometime soon. Good bang for buck.
I asked for factory seconds, it was a great choice !
Great holds were selected for me upon my request for specific holds for a 35 and 45 degree wall for my home gym. I received just what I asked for, small punches and edges , nothing outside the scope of too big for a home gym, all the holds were brand new, add some chalk and ready to climb !
