15 Angled Pinches

Depending on the rotation, my grip shifts between a full-on pinch and an open crimp. On a 35 degree wall, these are a solid V4/5 hold. I use them for feet and hands. They are challenging feet on the 35 degree wall, as well. Get them in earth tone red, smear a little chalk on them, and it looks like you have little pieces of red velvet cake bolted to your wall. Who doesn't want that?

Absolutely love these pinches! Extremely versatile. "Easy" holds for flat walls and moderate to difficult for incline walls. I use them for everything. My flat/vertical section, 50degree section and cave section. You can use these holds to practice many climbing techniques such as heel hooks, palm presses, dynos (as start holds) and even toe hooks! Every degree these holds are rotated drastically changes the difficulty level. Challenge yourself and, more importantly, have fun!

Our latest addition to the wall, these offer a pretty wide variety of slopey to incut. They are a little beefier than I anticipated and so I’m excited to try them on our 30 degree wall.

The edges are fairly aggressive so I’m interested to see how the skin takes to them.  Overall, I’m excited to work them in.

I ordered these pinches since they can be used as both hands and feet. Most routes set with these are likely to be in the V2 and above range even on a flat wall. Very challenging, but fun for less typical holds.

These holds make me think of moon holds not necessarily thinking about ergonomics but more of squeezing juice out of them. With that said they are surprisingly comfy and there is great variety in the set with some a lot deeper than others. An overall good addition to the 45.

I bought these expecting to use them as bare-foot footholds and pinches but find myself taking advantage of the smaller edges as well. A good diversity of placement options and fun to place in combo with other holds.

Recently built an 8'x12' 40 degree wall to train during the pandemic. Purchased these for the wall, as geometric pinches tend to be some of my favourite holds, and these came with a lot of options for the price.

I'll be honest - on a 40 degree wall these are tough. I wouldn't expect to set much lower than V5 with these alone - however, swapping one or two of these pinches in at the right spots can make an otherwise straightforward V3, a nice and challenging V4 when combined with other less difficult sets. Needless to say, these work fantastically as footholds, and come with a diverse range of angles. Note that very very few offer a "positive" side to them, so they work as true pinches (or decent sloping crimp edges) in almost all scenarios when being set as handholds.

Overall a great set to fill out your foothold selection, or bring up the difficulty with some tricky edges / pinches.

These angled pinches look pretty difficult to hold on a 40 degree wall but the more positive ones are actually better than you think. Some are definitely a struggle to hold on to at this angle, but some you can actually go dynamic to. It's a good mix of pinches. They a bit on the smaller side of pinches.

Multiple angles on these pinches creates lots of options. Great set for holds-only routes on vertical walls. Ironically, these have become the most used (easy) foot pieces on my wall.

These angled pinches are surprisingly good on a 45 degree wall. The texture is great like all Atomik holds. I bought them thinking that they’d be good additions to volumes but I ended up using them on my overhung wall and 15 degree. The depth of the pinches varies and makes each hold interesting to use.  They’re great for setting V5-V7 in angles walls or V2 in straight walls.

I’ve ordered several thousand holds and Atomik is my favorite.  I highly recommend these angles pinches.

There holds are a good value, adds a lot of holds to my set. They are difficult holds any overhanging walls, but this set gives you a lot to work with.
