Over the years, we’ve had many setters and shapers ask what foam we use to shape our climbing holds. We want to make it easier for new shapers and experienced setters alike to get started with the same professional-grade materials and tools we use.
We offer high-density shaping foam in a range of sizes, along with an optional Starter Shaping Tool Kit that includes the core tools needed to begin shaping (minus your preferred PPE). Whether you’re just getting into shaping or looking to restock your shop, we’re happy to help you get started.
Choose from our pre-cut blocks of foam or pick up a large box of foam remnants. A remnant box includes a variety of large and small pieces, and may contain offcuts, rejected shapes, or molded foam pieces from shapes in our line.
If you need a specific foam size, a different foam type, or individual shaping tools not listed here, please email orders@escapeclimbing.com with your request.
Optional Shaping Tool Kit Includes:
- 8″ x 11″ x 15″ block of high-density foam
