I fell in love with this Set#2 the first time I climbed on them. I took two sets and set a boulder problem on a 20-degree angles wall, and once I "settled" on to the holds, searching for just the right feel, I found the crimps followed the contour of my hand in a comfortable way. This is the kind of crimp that the intermediate to expert level can run laps on.

The incut is about 3/8" deep, and there is a contoured lip that is surprisingly comfortable for a crimp.

Set #2 is harder than Set #1 and easier than Set #3 and Set #4.

On a vertical wall, expect V1+ feeling crimps. Again, this is a great choice for the beginner.

On a 20-degree wall, expect V2 feeling crimps.

On a 45-degree wall, expect V9 feeling crimps.

SIZE: 4" wide x 2-1/2" tall x 1" off the wall
V1+ on vertical.
V2 on a 20-degree wall.
V9 on a 45-degree wall.
Texture: The texture is silky, grippy, and skin-friendly that feels like natural rock.

Subtle transition between sets #1 and #3

While it is not obvious to the eye, set #2 is definitely a step up in difficulty from set #1. I have a few of set #2 mixed into a problem with set #1 on a 35 degree wall. I would say this mix of holds, even with positive feet, yields a V5/6 problem, at this angle. I have them set in their most positive orientation and not too far apart. You could easily amplify the difficulty by changing either of those factors. I am also using a few of these in combination with set #3 on a 13 degree wall, which also feels V5/6 with small feet and more dynamic movement. The various progressive series of holds in the Golfus line really allow you to dial in the difficulty at multiple angles.

Better builders

These crimps are a great compliment to the first set. The are edges are a little bit smaller than the previous Golfus set and make for a great progression. These holds are good trainers for contact and precision, but at 45 degree be ready for nothing easier than hard V8/V9 depending on what kind of feet you use. As the overhang lightens the holds become more manageable with intricate sequencing. I think the optimal angle of the wall is between 20 and 35 degrees for these holds, unless you are tacking them onto features.
