You can make your own out of bits of rock/slate/wood if you are really strapped for cash.

I bought holds for my board from this guy (http://www.climbholdfast.co.uk/). Price was really good and you can specify any colour you want. My board is on the side of my house so I ask for red brick colour holds...

Go to a wood yard and ask them about offcuts, for 2 quid me and Leroy got a big bag of nice mixed sizes, some hardwood.  They did seem to think we were rumaging through the massive bin to choose our own kindling, this confused the Llangefni locals a bit.  A belt sander is ideal to make them, about 12 pounds for the shitest one we could find in Stermat.  If they exist outside north Wales.

Stermat in Valley is an amazing shop - it's mega cheap!!!

Maybe they thought you were Meibion Glyndwr ;)
