These are surprisingly fun, not-so-obvious hand holds. You can grab them as a sloper, a pinch, as well as throwing thumb-catches on the protruding balls. We like this set as both beginner footholds and intermediate handholds in semi-steep terrain. Great as handholds on vertical walls for beginners. This set is more incut / easier than our 5 Medium Protons.

base measures approximately 4" x 4"
protrudes from the wall 2-1/2"
can be used both as big feet and intermediate to advanced hand holds

Positive Protons

I have the medium, large, and XL protons, and the larges are the most interesting. The XLs are fun but pretty straightforward, the mediums are the best for pinching, but the larges are hard to figure out how to grab them until you put your hand on them. Fun to force a match so you have to pinch a single ball. Fairly rough texture which I usually don't like, but it's good here since the shapes are so round and it's a relief to have that extra friction.

Can a hold be "cute"?

I picked these protons for my home wall cause they looked adorable and figured they be versatile and fun. I have small hands and it's hard to find a comfortable grip on them that doesn't involve twisting my wrist. I put them on a 40 degree wall, and they are more like a sloper with a tease. I think on a more upright wall they would be a great addition with a ton of ways you can use the protons, but I'll have to work up to them cause so far I'm mostly stepping on them.
