Mingy Goat Climbing Equipment is a wholly Australian owned company, based in Newcastle New South Wales, specializing in the indoor rock-climbing market.

A small group of local climbers, we established a company intent on providing high quality, locally produced handholds at an affordable, accessible price.

This was achievable through, besides climbing, our group having broad experience ranging from being full-time students through to practising engineers, with an extensive background in the composites industry.




With over fifteen years climbing experience, both indoor and out, our designer knows what makes a good hold : shape and texture.

Mingy Goat Climbing Equipment spent 12 months developing the right texture to climb on. It had to be rough enough to allow every last bit of contact friction to be milked from it, but smooth enough not to wear out your fingers, or graze you upon contact whilst taking a `winger.'

Perhaps more important is the orientation. A route should be difficult by the placement and form of the holds, not because placing weight on that edge will likely shear your finger off. You are after that delicious muscle pump, not aching tendons and finger joints. With this in mind, and aware of the long term damage that can be done to a climber's tendons, Mingy Goat Climbing Holds are all designed to be as ergonomic as is possible. Where we can do so without detriment to the form of a hold, we insist on correctly radiused edges, which allow maximum skin contact, and minimize tendon strain.

We offer all our holds in six distinctive colours, and two colour types : Solid and Swirl. Whilst both easily demark a route or sequence on a wall, the swirls add that something special, helping to disguise their true form through a rippled colour scheme.

Many will notice our holds are larger than usual, and the sets smaller. This is in an effort to give our climbers as much control over their walls as possible. The larger hold size gives our designer as much room as possible to create a series of different edges on the holds. This way, you control the grade, by simply NOT using all of the surfaces, but you get more hold for your investment.

The smaller sets also give our customers better control over their dollar. Ever bought a set and never used half the holds? If your wall is big enough, have a look at our combined sets. If you have a small wall, mix 'n' match your holds and sets to give you exactly the holds you need to train.
