We have four sets that are "first pours" off this brand new line of pockets. They will look just like the picture. The holds will feel a little bit grainy which will wear off and feel perfectly normal. If you want the graininess to go away immediately, simply rub with your fingers and some chalk or a little bit of sand paper.
There is nothing quite like sinking your fingers deep into a comfortable pocket and that is just what you will get with this set of Joe's valley inspired sandstone pockets. You will have the pleasure of pulling down with 2 and 3 fingers up to 2 pads deep. They are all deep and comfortable. With the sandstone design, the holds will afford you to rotate them for a variety of options of hand positioning on them. It's important to challenge your skills as a hand technician and with these pockets you'll now be able to approach pocket climbing safely.
