Overview

If you can grab onto small holds, a screw-on crimp is a budget-friendly choice.

This set offers about 3/4" of incut crimp. That depth of hold means they are an introduction to crimping on vertical walls. It also means Crimptown in steep terrain.

As a handhold on a vertical wall, you are in the V1/2 range. V1/2 is hard for the beginner. However, the beginner can use them as footholds.

Where this set shines is in steep terrain. You will get a V2 crimp on a 20-degree overhanging wall and a V6 crimp on a 45-degree overhanging wall.

The "legs" on these shapes add more variety, such as grabbing a thumb-catch here and there. The lips of these three-finger-wide crimps are on the thinner side, so they "bite" as you would expect them to.

The Dripstone design style is rock-like, which means a grippier texture than more simple design styles.

SIZE: On average, measures 3-3/8" wide x 1-3/4" tall x 7/8" standing off the wall.
V1 on vertical walls.
V3 on 20-degree walls.
V6 on 45-degree walls.
Texture: The Dripstone texture is skin-friendly that feels like natural rock.

Excellent spray wall addition

My 35 degree wall is pretty full of bolt-on holds, but these little guys fit in between everything. They feel V3-5 to me at this angle, depending on how I position them. I also have the screw-on dripstone flat crimps #2 mixed in for some variety. The sets are very similar, save for the grip surface angle. These two sets offer a nice progression in difficulty, the in-cut set feeling the equivalent of a V-grade easier to me.

Buy these holds!

Great for filling in the gaps on your woody. They go where other holds won't and are super comfortable as far as crimps go. Tiny footprint and the texture of the dripstone is amazing super sticky yet somehow skin friendly

Great crimps that go where bolt ONS cant

Great little holds that can go anywhere. On my 20 degree wall they feel around v3. Dripstone texture is super grippy but skin friendly. Super comfortable

An almost challenge grip

Personally I love these holds. they bring a certain level of difficulty no matter the angle of the wall. If you have strong fingers, you will not have any problem with these holds. For more difficulty, you can turn them vertically or upside down.

Fun for all ages

I put these on a vertical wall for kids. They are very positive and have are great to practice on. I could also see some fun climbs with them for the seasoned pro. I'd say they are V0 at vertical, V1-V3 at 20 degrees and V2-V5 at 40.

Nice holds

Super good for the price, very positive and accessible for a range of moves and orientations on my 55 degree wall. Perfect size because they fit 4 fingers nicely but don't take up lots of space if your going for density on a spray wall

Awesome crimps

These crimps are absolutely perfect for filling in home walls based on price/size. I have these on a 35 degree woody and I'd say half the problems end up using of these holds at some point. They are surprisingly incut so while they're tough on an overhang they're definitely usable for anyone climbing in the V3-V5 range.

Good crimps

These crimps make for nice easy lines on my 45. Not too easy though!

Fun shapes, good edge

I love the shapes of these. They allow a variety of pinches and crimps with the dripstone shapes. The incut edge makes these pretty positive.

Nice positive holds for a good value

I mainly bought these holds as a cheaper alternative to jugs. I have most of them set on a vertical wall and they make for good positive holds. They are more challenging than jugs but I am ok with that. Great texture. Dripstone is awesome.

affordable way to add positive holds

These are a nice addition to any order to add hands or feet where you need them. Make for nice intermediate hands to bump to a farther hold, or can be used for a nice crimp route. Good texture and purchase and nicely positive.

Small but big

Most are 1 pad but you can still fit 4 fingers. I use them on a 50 degree overhand for typically V4-V6. Big moves or awkward orientation could be harder. I put a few on a vert kids wall and my 4 year old has no trouble pulling on them.

Textured Crimps

These are smaller than I expected, but still great value for a steep wall crimp route. The dripstone texture is great. V4ish at 35 degrees.

Great foot holds

I built 45 degree wall for my beginner teenagers... The crimps are primarily used as a foot hold, since they (currently) lack the strength to dig into the incut and hold on at this slope. The dripstone design looks great, they have lots of surface and the dripstone texture helps you keep hold.

Steep Wall Crimps

I placed this set on my 60° wall and would say they require a minimum of V6 strength to use them at this angle. I have very fat fingers, yet I am able to squeeze 4 fingers onto each of these holds. They feel about half the size (depth wise) of the Brain Coral Steep Wall Crimp set. If you are looking to increase your finger strength on steep angles these are perfect for that. Affordable, and fit in the tightest of spaces on your wall. If you don't have the strength to use these on steep angles they work well as foot holds too, so maybe you buy them for feet until you are strong enough to use them for hand holds.

Great incuts for steeper walls

Got this set for my 40 degree (from the ground) home wall. Smaller than expected, but quite positive even on steep terrain. Positive enough to set big moves on v4-v6 problems on my wall, and smaller moves might yield v2-v3ish problems.

Definitely Incut

These were almost too incut for my 45 degree wall! It’s nice to have something that bites back and they make a beautiful V5/6 tracking route at that angle. Most of them are fairly comfortable minus the most incut of the set and I do love how small and 3 fingery they are. I would have loved them even more on a 60 degree wall!!

Classic Incut Crimp

These are very affordable incut crimps. I use them on a 50 degree wall with some difficulty. Solid holds, especially for the price.

Very Positive Small Crimps

These crimps are fun and being screw on can be set anywhere on anything. They are very positive and are great on my 30 degree wall. Those thin and positive they are smaller than expected. So if you are looking for a steep wall crimp that will still require you to have strong fingers these are a safe affordable bet.
