Overview

This set of pinches are narrow. In the 1-1/2" range, which is the thickness of a 2 x 4. You'll love these because they have a minimal footprint yet offer an excellent training hold. When considering the wall's angle you want them on, expect V1 on vertical and V4 on a 45-degree wall. Pinches like these are an excellent choice for beginners on vertical as the incut divots give the climber a positive purchase. On vertical, you can also cheat the hold with a finger on top. For steep walls, the spinner screw is at the top of the hold. There is a taper where the spinner screw is, so they offer a steep smear foothold. They will be challenging to stand on in steep terrain.

Smallest hold measures 1-1/4" wide x 4-1/4" tall x 1-1/4" off the wall
Largest hold measures 1-1/2" wide x 5-1/2" tall x 1-1/4" off the wall
V1 on vertical
V4 on 45-degree wall
Texture: Atomik 2.0
The blue carabiner in the photo measures 4" on the longest side and is not included.

Pinches and divots

These are great holds for any gym or home wall. We really enjoy training on these as they are usable at any angle.

Our system board is better for these being on it, as we realized that we were able to set a V4 at a 45-degree angle.

I am happy with the finger divots as they make the pinches seem more manageable and ergonomic.

I recommend these highly.

Pinch Ideal

I love the grooves they have designed in them for your fingers. Feels like holding a river stone in your fingers.

Awesome small pinches—bring the body tension!

I have a set of these on a 10-degree wall and 20-degree wall in my garage, incorporating them as part of traverse/circuits that I do to train resistance. I've oriented some as vertical or diagonal pinches and some horizontally, as "long crimps."

The holds have been amazing—for me, the main selling point is the ergonomic dimpling, which lets you settle your fingers comfortably no matter how big your pads are—the options are myriad. And, of course, you can also rotate them for a great variety of grabbing options, for either hand.

They have provided 5.11+–5.13 difficulty (as part of 20- to 40-move circuits), and while they initially feel positive in your hand when you latch them, are just tough enough that it's hard to pause to shake out—so, perfect for training resistance. Like, chalk up, maybe, and then get moving!

Highly recommend.

finger pinchers

I have these on a 45 degree angle and they definately feel like a v5 set up. I have these set up near the crux to spice my climbing wall up. they have a nice feel to them and add some difficultly to any route you set up.
