Overview
Reviews

This set of holds carries the name Pinch Crimps because they offer five different widths within the group if you chose to pinch them. However, this set intends to provide two separate dishy crimps on the same hold. The two grip locations on the same hold give 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 is a sinister 3/8," and the incuts range from 0-degrees to 15-degrees incut.

Set #2 is more challenging than Set #1 as Set #2 is less incut and more slopey. You can expect V4 on a vertical wall and V8 on a 20-degree wall.

SIZE: Average hold measures 4" wide x 3" tall x 1" standing off the wall
V4 on vertical.
V9 on a 20-degree wall.
V10+ 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

Obviously this holds feel very similar to the matching set "5 Golfus Pinch Crimps (Low-angle) Set #1". It would make sense to buy both of this sets together. My thoughts on this sets are the same as the matching set mentioned above.

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.

For the tech-master

These are part of a larger series of shallow techy holds designed to create a small footprint with a lot of potential for training hard technical climbing.

I was really surprised how much these holds were capable of being usable. When I first opened them I was a little skeptical, but quickly realized that they were great for technical training.

If the angle of the board is high they become footholds. For fun, I kicked the board to a 30-degree angle and found that their grade increased exponentially to double digits.

At 45 well someone better may be able to use them as handholds, but not me.
