The 12 Large Limestone Jugs are on the smaller side of the "large" size name. They might be considered big-medium holds or small-large holds. Either way, you look at it; they are all positive jugs with two exceptions. Two of the holds are mailbox slot pockets. One is a two-finger and another 3-finger. Both are deep and, with the thumb-catch, feel very positive.

The remainder of the set offers a variety of incut jugs yielding V1/2 on a 45-degree wall.

The limestone style on the face of these holds multiple thumb-catches, which help you lock onto the hold, especially in steep terrain.

This is a cost-effective set for beginners on vertical walls that need a positive hold.

SIZE: On average, measures 4-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" tall x 2" standing off the wall.
VO on vertical walls.
V2 on a 45-degree wall.
TEXTURE: The texture offers a skin-friendly grip that feels like natural rock.

Large Limestone Jugs

Comfortable, finger-friendly jugs with extra detailing that provides thumb-catch options. A good standby hold that will serve in multiple situations, but lacking (in my opinion) the originality that would make them a favorite.

Lots of variety in this set

Some jug set are relatively uniform in design throughout but these are not. Like many Atomik holds, these have plenty of thumb catch options to give you that advantage when you need it. An interesting aspect of this set is two of the holds force you to use just 2 or 3 fingers almost like a pocket but still deep like a jug. Putting that "extra" finger in those will pinch the fingers together. I think all of these would be excellent on a kid's wall too -- so much variety to choose from. Atomik has done a great job of of bringing creative designs that are superbly functional to the climbing community. These holds are no exception.

Decent Set for Steeps

Limestone, my personal favorite style, provides a bit more real world texture. Provides ever changing angles, and different approaches with thumb catches, side pulls, underclings. One thing to improve would be to increase the size slightly. 1" footprint increase would increase value.
