We are Aap Climbing. We are climbers, setters and gym residents. Coffeelovers, daydreamers, free thinkers. During the day, we work on climbing. In the evening, we practice climbing. At night, we think about climbing. All this, so we can help you build your dream.
We distribute holds and volumes from some of the world’s best, creative and eye pleasing brands. Brands that create shapes designed by professional setters, climbers and artists. People like you, who understand what you need and will help you turn your vision into reality on the wall in front of you.
We can guide you through the maze of brands, production facilities and matching or non-matching colors. We can show you how and why certain materials like polyester, PU or hybrids can do the job for you. We can tell you which holds will work best for your gym. Hell, we can equip an entire gym if you want us to.

To download the order forms, you’ll need an account. If you don’t have one, please fill in the contact form right here. Once we’ve processed your request, we’ll provide you with a login and password.
Shipping is not included in the prices you’ll see on the order forms. For EU produced holds and volumes, shipping costs are somewhere between 5% and 10% depending on the order size. For US produced holds and volumes, 10-12% is a good estimate. Obviously we won’t rest until the holds and volumes are safely delivered at your doorstep.
Upon ordering, we’ll send you a 50% deposit invoice. After you received your order, unpacked everything and went crazy setting some awesome problems or routes with them, we’ll send you an invoice for the remaining 50% and the shipping costs.
The delivery time of holds, volumes, digital boards and frames heavily depends on the place where they start their journey on the way to your gym. Everything is produced in specialized factories in various places in Europe and North America. As a result, delivery times can vary considerably. The material also plays a role. It is not uncommon for waiting times to be longer for one material than for another. We keep track of delivery times as accurately as possible. Please ask us at the time of ordering so we can provide the most accurate estimate.
Bolts are not included with the holds, but in case you need them, we stock large quantities of all sizes, even the ones needed for triple XXXXXL emperor sized huge ass delight.
If, after delivery, it appears that you have received holds or volumes with defects (color deviations, broken/bent/poorly sanded holds or volumes, structure that quickly becomes smooth/breaks, etc.), we kindly ask you to report this immediately. We would like to know which defects and which sets are involved. We also ask you to send photos of the defects in question, so that we can contact the manufacturer with a complete file. In any case, we will ensure that you receive new sets/volumes as quickly as possible.
Too many great holds? No idea where to start? With many decades of routesetting, gym building and hold supplying under our belt, we can help you out. Whether it’s just a few sets you need or holds and volumes for your entire gym; you let us know what you want and we’ll supply you with a detailed plan. We’ll find you the hidden gems as well as the must-haves from all our brands, tailored to your special needs. To compile large orders that require a lot of work, we’ll ask for a small fee.
Need a sponsor for your event? With many brands in our portfolio that reside in the heart of the climbing gym industry, we’ve got your back. Let us know what you want and we’ll try and find the right partner for you. Your agreement will be with the brand, but we’ll do everything to facilitate the deal and help out where we can.
