Griffbretts, also known as climbing holds or holds, are artificial protrusions attached to climbing walls that provide the hand and foot purchase necessary for ascending. They are a fundamental component of both indoor climbing gyms and outdoor artificial climbing structures. Griffbretts come in a vast array of shapes, sizes, and textures, designed to simulate different types of natural rock formations and offer a range of difficulty levels.
