For a little hold, this set packs a pinch awakening. When setting vertically, schools in because you can either pinch of you can't There is a slight incut on all of them so that you can dig into the hold with the incut helping you stay on. Felling about V2 on a vertical wall, these would be the hardest we recommend for beginners.

For climbers that crush, you are looking at a V5 hold on a 45-degree wall. If you are looking for narrow pinches, this is a great choice.

Perfect intro pinch

I’m all about versatility with my holds and these do not disappoint. After talking with Kenny I landed on these for my wife who is warming up to pinches. The incut is really helpful and width is perfect. The solid V1/ V2 feel on our vertical wall is the perfect amount of challenge for her, and a nice warm up for me. The facet cuts really make these versatile. I use the angled ones as a foot hold. A+

Very skin friendly

First off I am not really a fan of the atomik 2.0 texture, it just doesn't have a lot of friction. That being said, these are still good holds. I have them on a 45 degree board and the combination of the smooth texture and how thin they are make these V5/6/7 holds easily. They are skin friendly because of the texture but I would prefer them having a little more friction.

Great Pinches

We have these and the neutral set and love both. These are definitely easier, but can still be set hard. We keep them mostly vertically oriented on a 30 degree wall and can get V5 out of them as easily as V3. The smoother texture is great on the skin, except when trying to send in the height of summer.

Nice Matchable Pinches

Interesting holds with a nice variety of uses as they work well as both pinches as well as edges. I agree with the other commenters, V3/V4 on our 30 degree wall. You can match on some of the larger ones (if you are strong enough!) The smooth texture is very pleasant on your hands. All around glad we purchased these. They have medium positivity for a pinch.

Brutal pinches on steep terrain!

These are going to improve my pinches and nubs, which I struggle with currently. Probably will look at buying a larger more open handed pinch set or rail. Awesome angles with the facets!

Great intro to pinches

The incuts and width are just right for getting strong and comfortable with pinches. The incuts are just a hair more than subtle, such that they are helping you hold on, but it's still your strength and technique first and foremost. They'd make pretty good slightly-incut edges if you rotated them horizontal as well. I'm a V1~V2 climber and these go from straightforward on a near-vertical wall to beyond my ability at 30 degrees. The holds themselves are fairly consistent in difficulty and have a nice skin-friendly design and texture.

Nice skin friendly texture

I just received These Today and installed them on My 30 degree wall. They are a little harder to hold than I expected but I don't think it will take me long to work up to them. I am maybe a v3+ climber and I think these are a grade or so higher to me on a 30 degree wall. The Texture is not to rough so you can work on them for quite a while with out having to worry about your skin.

Nice facets

Well made as always. Don’t use the spinner screw when vertical. Put them next to the jugs on my kids vertical wall so they can slowly move over to them as they gain confidence/ability. Nice on the 30 degree section...maybe v2/3? Fun holds.
