Overview
Reviews

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.

base measures approximately 3" x 3"
protrudes from the wall 2-1/4"
can be used both as big feet and intermediate to advanced hand holds

Fun but challenging

We have these as pinches on a 45 deg overhang wall. They are used as pinches which is difficult on that degree but these bubbles on them make it do-able but challenging. They also are great for footholds on that deg because the added bubbles stick out from the wall making it easier to have a secure footing.

Crystal pinching

Love pinching these! They're like cartoon versions of granite crystals. Pretty close in size to the large protons, but I prefer the mediums because my wall is only 20 degrees and the pinches are wider and less comfortable on the larges. These would be super hard handholds on a steep wall.

Useful for so many different applications

They can be used and pinches, foot holds, mini slopers, the list goes on. I even used one to finish a route on my roof that i couldn't get quite right.
