Bolt on Climbing holds

Every climbing hold has a different shape and structure. Because of these variations, the depth of the bolt hole varies from one climbing hold to another. Example: The 20 pack of Frogs Jugs to the right consists of several different shaped grips. To fasten thes grips to a 3/4" wall you'll need (3) 1 1/2 bolts, (13) 1 3/4 bolts, and (4) 2 bolts. (We normally send 25 bolts just so you've got some wiggle room.) Frogs 20 Pack

The easiest way to select the proper length bolt for each hold is to:

1. Separate your bolts by size

2. Grab a handhold and a bolt you think might fit.

3. Grab a ruler and measure the length of bolt sticking out the backside of the handhold.

4. If you've got a 1 1/2 thick wall, the bolt will need to protrude out the back of the hold about 1 1/2 inches.

5. If the bolt is protruding more or less than 1 1/2 inches you can select a different bolt and use the one that ends up pro- truding the closest to 1 1/2 inches. (it doesn't have to be exact)

6. Using this method you'll be select the proper bolt for each handhold.
