10 Small Simple Crimps Set #2

I used them on my 27 degree home wall and they are great, the ratio of positivity and size makes them the perfect challenge.

I'm impressed with how simplicity works so well. Many different crimps in the set that will allow for good use on most spaces from slab to making life painful on the 30 degree. Feels like an easy choice to buy and set with on your home wall. Great value!

I'm still fairly new to climbing but had all the lumber at home to make a wall. Bought these crimps to help me get better at crimps and more challenging things before the summer comes and it's time to go outdoors. These are definitely challenging crimps starting out on our 30° wall I would say they can make problems from V3/4-V8/9. These are really fun and I might purchase more in the future so I can make mostly crimps and pinches on my wall

I bought a set of these to mount on the Triangle Mini-Volumes that I have on a roof, 10-degree wall, and 20-degree wall in my garage. The goal was to set more consistently difficult, engaging traverses/circuits, instead of being forced to constantly grab micro-crimps (Ouch!) in order to make things difficult.

The holds have been great—an amazing, grippy but not too aggressive texture. A slight ergonomic rounding that makes them kind on the joints and pleasant to grab. And they're just wide enough that with my fat fingers, I can still get all four digits on and close the thumb comfortably.

Mounted on the volumes on the 10-degree wall, they provide 5.11–5.12 difficulty (as part of 20- to 40-move circuits), and on the 20-degree wall and the roof they provide 5.12–5.13 difficulty. I have a few out individually on the walls, too: Expect V2–V4 difficulty on walls under 30 degrees, and V5 on up on walls 30 degrees or more overhanging. These puppies will teach you to crimp like a beast while also minimizing injury potential!

A little on the simple side, these are still great for a variety of climbing fun.  I use these in a corner for some fun stemming with just enough of an edge to make me feel comfortable on an unbalanced move

I really like the feel of these crimps.  They are very grip friendly and are gentle enough for those long sessions on the wall.  The colors are very bright and attractive on my wall.  So far they are holding up very well!

These crimps are nice for projects on a semi steep wall. I definitely need to warm up before grabbing them. Perhaps v3ish on a 15 degree wall.  Nice to set since they are all positive but never more than a 1/3 pad of purchase.

An essential hold to have in the arsenal. Good variety on how positive they are. Without the backplate you can really dig into these bad boys. Rounded lip also makes them comfy for a crimp

Purchased thinking they would be more difficult (v5+) on my 30 degree wall, but the incuts are fairly positive and comfortable for about 8 of the holds. I do have smaller hands/fingers though. They're great holds for a solid price point and I fully enjoy climbing on them!

These holds vary in incut and size (both width and depth) offering a nice variety of holds. These would likely be used in a v4/5 on a vert wall and a v7+ on a 30°+ wall.

This crimp set is really good for setting project routes.  I’d say V2 to V4 on a 15 degree overhang and they get much harder when it gets steeper. You can’t pull outward super hard on these so center of gravity is important. Nice for setting those moves where you have to stay in tight to the wall and ticky-tack your feet up as you move. Just what you want out of hard crimps. Not for beginners.

Great set of crimps for my homewall which is slightly overhung with a small vertical section. They make for fine V2-V3ish climbing on a vert and are a good bit harder on an overhang. Makes for nice lock offs and provides a great finger workout.

These are perfect for training real hard on the backyard wall. It’s 45 degrees and they work beautifully as “jugs” on volumes, or V7 and up on their own. They have the perfect blend of comfy and bite to get the job done. If you can crimp hard, these are well worth the little you need to shell out for them.

Great for tech movement on vertical wall. On my 45 degree they are out of my league (I climb v6-7)

Good cost for what you get. Holds feel very solid and durable, and the earth tone color set looks great! On a vertical wall, these feel like V1-V2. The difficulty will really crank up on steeper terrain. Great addition to any home wall, especially if you are looking for high quality, affordable crimps.

Very small 3 to 4 finger rounded crimps. Prob would be V1 or V2 in vertical terrain the V5+ in overhanging terrain.  Good set, good value.

The name of these crimps says it all simple. They are not quite as positive as you might think but they offer a great challenge on the 45. Some of them are pretty positive and are great for big pulls. Can't beat the price.

I put these on my 40 degree wall and have been able to get good varying amounts of difficulty out of them. There are a couple good half-pad edges and a couple hard quarter pad edges. Climbing statically between them results in about a V4 and moving dynamically between them can probably get up to V8-9. Overall a good set for those trying to improve finger strength and work on smaller edges.

My favorite crimp set so far, right after the Oval Crimp Set #2 (which are slightly harder to hold than these simple crimps). The lips on these are rounded and small but incut and slightly jutting out so you can still dig into them. On my 45 degree wall they are perfect for setting v9/v10. But they can go down to v7 and up to v-hard on this angle. Because the lips on the holds are rounded, they are comfortable and don't dig in and hurt your fingers. And despite being incut, they are small enough to be challenging to hold.

Doesn't get much better than this. I can set V7/8 routes easily on my 30 degree wall, and though they're simple, they force thoughtful climbing - no wild throwing with these! And the price is great!

These just arrived today, and while I haven't had time to put them on my wall yet, I noticed that they were pretty much all symmetric, so if you buy a second set of these you can easily have a wall where the left side and the right side are symmetric.

I put these on a vertical wall and on a 30 degree wall. Really tough on on the 30 but 'holdable' for me. Versatile as larger foot holds and as good medium/small crimps. Really good set to have in your 'route setting' toolkit.

Good for v4-v8+ on our 30 degree wall. The lips on most of these crimps are good, so you can really crank on them. I’d say the two smallest ones force you to open hand, while you can close on the rest.

Get these if you want to crank on crimps that aren’t too generous.

I'm glad I got these for my home wall. Very easy to set a very hard climb with these crimps. Super textured, eeeeever so slightly incut. If you like tough lock offs, get these

These are a personal favorite! Have been using them in all sorts of grades from V4-V9ish on a 25 degree wall. Their shape is very conducive for training open-handing crimps with good feet, and with smaller feet (like the tech facets) they are great for training slow, deliberate movement on edges. They feel bullet hard, very little flex when pulling on them.

Another set or two of these is high-up on the priority list.

Your standard crimps. Were a little less incut than I expected but still fine. Can also be used as easy feet. Good value.

Got these cause they looked hard and I was not disappointed. On my 40 degree wall they’re almost to hard using just the set, but if you want to get strong on crimps these will do it. If you use them with other holds they become much friendlier great for making a crux or adding in for a bump hold when you just need a little help in a big move

These crimps can be chill or challenging, just depends on how you want to set them. I have them on my 30 degree wall and can be used for some very tough problems. Some of the crimps are bigger and more positive than others. The smaller ones tend to add V-points when when throwing them into the mix. I have fairly big hands and some of these will allow me to really pull hard. I like small crimps and these were a great addition to my wall. The rounded edges remind me more of outdoor climbing. They are "sharper" than the flat edge crimps which allows for a more "outdoor" feel. Easily can set v5+ problems with these.

Overall, I'm definitely happy with these crimpers, but I prefer the oval crimp sets that I bought.  The design/shape/cut of the top of these Small Simple Crimps makes crimping slightly awkward for me.  Sometimes I crimp down on them normally, but sometimes it feels like I'd get a better grip by curling my fingers around like an upside-down "U" shape, and coming straight down vertically on the holds, which feels awkward.  For reference, my wall at home is 25 degrees overhanging, and I'd rate/grade these holds around V5-V6 (at a minimum).

My favorite set of crimps for hard movement (v5-9) on my 33 degree wall. Fantastic for advanced crimp training.
