Fixation & Safety

Countless hours of R&D were spent focused on producing macros with fixation points that will stand up to years of use. We are incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved, we believe our fixation points are some of the strongest & most durable available.

- Our fixation points are designed to work with 5mm screws.
- All available fixation points must be used.
- Appropriate length screws should be used which will allow at least 20mm of penetration into the wall surface.
- Genetics Climbing Co macros & holds should only be installed by a suitably competent and experienced person.
- Genetics Climbing Co macros & holds should only be used on a climbing surface that meets BS EN 12572-1 or BS EN 12572-2.
- Genetics Climbing Co macros & holds should only be installed on flat wall surfaces.

Care & Handling

- To clean climbing holds & macros we suggest the use of a cold water jet wash. Cleaning agents, excessively hot water or acid based hold cleaners could effect the colour and/or texture.
- Please take care when handling & storing our products, rough handling and improper storage will limit their lifespan.
- Our macros should be stored in a cool dry area, out of direct sunlight.
- If a product is cracked or shows signs of any damage, it must be discarded.
