What are the advantages and disadvantages of plastic, concrete, real rock, wood, or ceramic holds?
• Plastic: Good design potential, hard to break, but is an insulating material which means it will warm with your hands and cause that slick plastic feeling. • Concrete: Good design potential, easy to break/crack, and will feel cool to touch (like rock). • Real Rock: Little design potential, easy to break/chip/crack, best possible realism for feel. • Ceramic: Good design potential, easy to break/chip/crack, feels cool to touch (like rock).
