Overview
Reviews

This set of holds carries the name Pinch Crimps because they have been shaped to offer five different widths within the set if you chose to pinch them. However, the intention of this set is to offer two separate dishy crimps on the same hold. This gives the homewaller a narrow crimp on one side and a still-narrow but a slightly wider crimp on the other side. You can expect widths that range from 1-1/8" to 1-1/2"

The depth on the crimps are a sinister 3/8" and the incuts range from 5-degrees to 20-degrees incut.

Set #1 is easier than Set #2 but that is not saying much since the difficulty of these grips is on the advanced level. You can expect V3 on a vertical wall and V5 on a 20-degree wall.

SIZE: Average hold measures 4" wide x 3" tall x 1" standing off the wall
V3 on vertical.
V6 on a 20-degree wall.
V7 on a 30-degree wall.
V12+ on a 45-degree wall.
Texture: The texture is silky, grippy, and skin-friendly that feels like natural rock.

Great Holds for Slab/Vert.

These holds are best for technical hard climbing on slab/vert, I think you could get away with them on a slight overhang up to around 15°, I think on those angles you can expect to set anywhere from V2-V10 with them. They also make good technical feet for some steeper climbing. Lastly I think they could work really well around aretes and volume on steeper terrains.

If you are looking for hard holds for vert or slab this are a great purchase.

Great holds but not for steep walls

These holds are excellent if you are relegated to a low-angle (hence the name) wall. They can create really intricate and thoughtful movement, at a 30 degree angle I felt like the easiest I could get was a V7, but that was creating ladder movement essentially.

Between 30 and 50 degrees the problems were double digits.

At a 45 there was no hope, foot holds at best.

Tough but fair

So, these holds are really good if you are stuck with a low-angle fixed wall. The moment they hit about 20 degrees they become extremely hard to use as handholds.

I really liked using these for techy vertical problems, but also found them really useful attached to features for slap problems.
