Overview
Reviews

The 10 Pack Joes Pockets are climbing holds that have dishes for your fingers to lay in. They are all one and a half to two finger pads deep with great thumb catches. Thumb catches are a plus because it makes it easier to grab on to the hold as the angle of your walls gets steeper.

They are not jugs for steep wall climbing but are relatively easy on vertical walls. If looking at these for a vertical wall, expect V2, which is a grade too hard for the beginner child climber.

These climbing holds feel like pocketed sandstone with undulations on the insides of the holds. On really steep walls, seven of the set offer a decent-sized grip that ends up feeling like a pinch. When spaced closely together, they will yield V4 (intermediate to an advanced level climber) on steeper walls.

SIZE: Average hold measures 3" wide x 4-1/2" tall x 1-7/8" standing off the wall.
V2 on vertical.
V4 on a 45-degree wall.
Texture: The texture of this product offers a grip that is skin-friendly and feels like natural rock.

Pockets that won't break your finger

I've always been hesitant to use pockets because ofthe threat of injury. These pockets change all of that no tweaks or uncomfortable pressing on the bone. I would almost call these pocket jugs. V2 or above on my 30°

Interesting shapes for spray wall fill-in

I added these to a fairly full 35 degree wall. I made a small circuit to do endurance laps on. I like the complexity of the shapes, which requires a bit more thought and precision than the many smooth and round pockets already on my wall. They have a fairly small footprint, averaging around 3-4" tall/wide, with a few even smaller, so you can sneak them in between bolted holds on a crowded spray wall. On a 35 degree wall they feel like V2/3 holds to me.

Smaller than Bolt on Joe's holds, but still great

I have both Atomik's bolt on and these screw on Joe's Valley holds. I love them because the sandstone holds closely match the sandstone on my home Red River Gorge. This set is smaller than the bolt on Joe's. Still great, tho. Very unique...not just boring buckets inside. Your fingers will enjoy the variety.

Multi use

I've got these on a 30 degree outside wall. The pockets are comfortable and challenging. There are two holds that can be used as a small pinch and a few that can be used like a crimp but for the most part these are nice two finger pockets. I have used my ice tools on them as well when cross training. They do take a beating but I think it's better than buying one steel mixed climbing hold.

Super fun

These are some of my favorite holds. The shape and texture do have a more representative feel than most in my experience. There are a lot of ways/directions to use these. I even like using the outside features (not using the pocket features) of some of them on vertical wall sections. I think you can set a wide range of difficulties with these. I currently have been setting them in a roof in conjunction with the bolt on joe's pockets and am going to call it difficult to set much easier than v5.

Very Versatile Holds

These make great pockets and can also be used as pinches. I have them set on a vertical and 30 degree wall and they work great. I like that they can be used in a variety of ways. Some of them I have used as under clings.

Good buy

Love the variety of depths and widths of the pockets. I especially love the 2 holds in the set that are double sided. I can use most of them comfortably on my 55 degree wall for a lot of different movement. They add great diversity to my plethora of crimps and pinches, definitely a good buy.

Good shapes

I use these on a vertical wall. I really like the different shapes that allow you to use the hold with various finger combinations. They range from deep to shallow and have good grip. The larger ones can feel like mini jugs, but the smaller shallow ones are much more difficult.

Solid value

Good value medium holds, nice pockets that are intelligently shaped. Fun to set a couple of these holds in a row. Love the texture, makes them feel more realistic. These are great for building finger strength, and the price per hold is unbeatable.

Wow

These little things rock. They’re more or less my first experience with realistic shaping, since most of my gym climbing has been on the massive, shapeless blob holds that are so common. By contrast, these little things are both remarkable small and remarkably versatile. Even as screw ins, where I’m hesitant to move them on my wall too often, they’ve all got ledges, pinches, pockets and crimps. This means that for just 5$ hold, the intrepid climber will find no shortage of ways to challenge themselves and develop their skills. Easily my favorite set on my wall now.

Challenging 2 finger pockets!

These guys are great, talk about really testing the strength of your hands and forearms. I use these on wrap around corners of my wall for a tricky but comfortable no look reach but I also have a few mounted as under clings on my 45 and boy what a workout for your arm trying to get two fingers holding your weight on a 45. Get ready to shake those hands out you'll need it!

Incredible Pockets

As a commercial setter I have searched in vain for good, comfy pockets for years. A couple companies have some decent basic pockets, or comfy deep pockets, but these are the best complete set of pockets in regards of comfort, variety, and texture! I put them up on my 45 degree wall and I was amazed that they clocked in at around V3 with pretty typical movement. They were minimally tweaks, and the variety of the 10 gives you options for an unbeatable amount of movement and options, anywhere from V3 to V8 on a 45 degree wall. I am over the moon for these pockets!

Superior Look and Feel

We are a children's summer day camp in the north east. We bought these holds to replace some much older bold on holds. Due to the nature of an outdoor wooden wall in the north east we were having issues with bolt on's getting loose, becoming spinners, t-nuts rusting and stripping. Once we switched to screw on holds, our answers were solved. Not more spinning, no more t-nuts, and they are easy to put up. We have had our holds up year round for 5 years now and they still are in great shape.

Perfect for the Money

I bought these holds to go on the exposed 2x6s on the ends of my home bouldering walls to create aretes on each end. The holds work perfectly in this application and are super stable thanks to the four screws provided. Note: even if you're mounting these holds inside, it's well worth the money and time to use torx head screws to protect against stripping should you want to relocate these holds. They are medium sized for hands and when attached to the edge of a wall or feature make perfect holds for heal-hooking and toe-hooking! These holds will not disappoint.
