10 Oval Crimps Set #3

Whoa, either these are hard! My wall is 20 degrees overhanging. I have the "Small Simple Crimps" sets #1, #2, and #3, and I can do 12-ish move endurance routes on those sets. I'm not super strong and crimps are not my strong suit! So these may work better for you! I boulder V6-V8 at the gym and V3-V4 at my oldschool crag. I can do 1-arm bodyweight hangs on a 2cm edge. I bought these thinking they'd be ~V3, but I only do maybe one hard more on these. They've got very little bite so they are desperately, desperately insecure. There's no way I can link multiple of these together into a single boulder problem. I can't even tell you how hard such a route would be, because these are way too hard for me.

I'd recommend these for moderate overhangs if you're a freaking monster.

Texture is excellent and they're well made. They're not identical, but they're not easy to tell apart either, so you get less diversity than you get with some of the other sets. These feel like good holds to get in a mix of colors in order to add killer-desperate moves to your other sets and problems. I really don't recommend getting these all in one color (like I did) unless you want to make some really desperate boulder problems.

When I first got these, I put them on my 35 degree wall. I could just barely hold onto them. I moved them to my vertical wall and could set set V4ish problems. I think they would also do well on my 13 degree section for setting V4+. The rounded edge is tendon friendly. Flipping them upside down creates a great smear foothold. I paired these with the system simple crimps #16 for use as starting and finishing holds. Great set for a challenging crimp.

I'd pretty much consider these a must for the intermediate-to-advanced climber.  My wall at home is about 25 degrees overhanging, and these holds are tough!  I'd rate/grade these holds around V4 to V6 on my wall.  The description on the product's page is accurate, and as described, they do have a slightly rounded upper edge for crimping.  Considering that, I'd recommend also buying a pack of straight-edge crimps to go along with these oval crimps.
