Overview
Reviews

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.

Low-profile Jugs Perfect for a Steep Home wall

I order one set of these for my 50º home wall with the intention of using them for start/finish jugs as well as scattered throughout as underclings or side-pulls on more moderate boulders.

With a home wall, especially shorter one's under 12' it is important to compress as much difficulty as possible into every move. These holds, despite being jugs, place a bit more intention on throwing to whether it is the middle of the climb or the finish hold compared to the massive jugs you typically find in commercial gyms. Additionally the some of holds in the set can act as underclings or vertical side-pulls on problems between v4-v6.

Good at all angles

I use these on a vertical wall, a 30 degree wall, a 50 degree wall and a ceiling. They are good for setting V0 - V2 on the vertical and 30 degree wall, and around V3 or so on the steeper 50 degree wall. They are quite difficult to hold on the ceiling, but could be a good addition to add to an existing route.

They seem to be a little more deeply incut than the round mini jugs which makes them slightly easier to hang onto. Overall, they're nothing fancy, but you're getting a lot of good holds for a good price.

Solid Mini-Jugs

I have these on my 40-degree board and they've been great mini-jugs. If you set them as down-pulling jugs, they can be as easy as V1. However, if you flip them around as side pulls and underclings, they can quickly get into the V5+ range. I will warn that while they are jugs, they are not double incut and so they are not the best for easy traversing at 40 degrees.

Perfect sized jugs

These are great for climbers who are looking for jugs with a smaller footprint for their home wall. I've got these on my 40 degree wall, and use them as starting holds, sidepulls, underclings, and catches for far throws. They are pretty deep and I'm able to get all four fingers in them, with generally a full pad to pad and a half. Great for powerful pulling!

Perfect Set for a Home Wall

These jugs are very incut, with a cool variety of shapes. They're small, but still feel like good, solid jugs, which is awesome for my small home wall, where space is a premium.

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 :-)
