Photo of system holds

I'm writing a book on advanced climbing and am 99% done. One thing I wanted to add was a photo of system holds, but don't have them myself. This is not another training book, but training is addressed. Would anyone care to contribute a photo? I'll send you a free copy when I'm done.

When I say system holds, I don't mean HIT strips exactly, but sets of similar holds or wood block used for repetitive grip training by doing isometric holds and then moving quickly to a similar or different hold for another round of hanging on.

Thanks!!!

Hit up some hold manufacturers. You'll get better, professional quality photos, and almost surely get free usage if you caption it with their company named included.

A caption like "Systems board. Shown here with XYZBrand system holds"

Lot of companies making them, surely one will have what you need and be willing.

good point, I've done that for other photos in the book.
Vertical Hold climbing gym in San Diego has a nice little set-up from my googling. I emailed them.
