The 12 Straight Mini Jugs give your child a full hand's worth of purchase which feels more significant to their smaller hands. This size is perfect for toddler to elementary-aged children on vertical walls.

Each jug is different regarding incut and how positive they will feel. The incuts range from slightly incut to deeply incut, which offers an excellent variety of grips.

The 12 Straight Mini Jugs feel different from the 12 Round Mini Jugs. The round allows your index and pinky finger to wrap around the hold. The Straight version forces your index and pinky fingers to be on the same plane as each other. This feature makes the Straight version better suited for steep walls where you are hanging on the incut rather than the lip.

In steep 45-degree wall terrain, the holds become fingery, and they start to feel like crimpy edges. The easiest they will yield in steep terrain is around V3. An adult can get three fingers on most of them and even four on a few. Expect the depths of the incut to average one and a half finger pads deep.

You'll read in the reviews that the intermediate to the advanced climber uses this set on their walls and like them.

SIZE: 3-1/8" wide x 2-3/8" tall x 1-3/8" standing off the wall.
V0/1 on vertical walls.
V3/4 on a 45-degree wall.
TEXTURE: The texture offers a grip that is skin-friendly and feels like natural rock.

Straight versus rounded does make a difference

All of these holds are pretty deeply incut - some a little more than others. They are all just big enough for me to get all 4 fingers onto them and I'm 6'-1" tall so smaller hands will have no problem. The key to the "straight" jug is when gripping it, your index finger and pinky finger will feel more pressure when pulling down when compared to the round version. It's just the way the human hand is shaped. For this reason, I would recommend these for more overhanging terrain where the pull will more "out" than "down". I have one of these on a volume on my roof and it is perfect as the volume changes the angle of pull. On vertical wall sections, pulling down hard on these definitely feels different than when pulling down on the rounded mini jug version. Regardless, these are great little jugs at a great little price :-)
