Golfus Crimps Set #3 is an excellent choice for the climber that is no longer considered a beginner on a vertical wall. They feel V2 on vertical walls, which is on the high end of difficulty for the beginner.

The incut is approximately 1/4" deep, and there is a comfortable 3/16" thick lip. As the terrain you are route setting on gets steeper, the lip is key to helping you stay on.

On a 20-degree wall, the lip plays a vital role in defining the difficulty at V4 and V10+ on a 45-degree wall.

Smaller-sized hands, often related to female and pre-teen climbers, will have an easier time on them due to their smaller-sized hands, though there is plenty of room for all four fingers and your thumb.

For easier crimps from this line, check out Set #1 and Set #2. For harder crimps, check out Set #4.

SIZE: 4" wide x 2-1/2" tall x 1" off the wall
V2 on vertical.
V4 on a 20-degree wall.
V10+ on a 45-degree wall.
Texture: The texture is silky, grippy, and skin-friendly that feels like natural rock.

Great progression hold on the steep wall

I am currently using these on a 13 degree wall in combination with a few of the small golfus crimps set #2. At this angle, they feel like v4-6 to me. I had them initially on a 35 degree wall, but I could only hang on them and couldn't move. On the 35 degree wall I'm using a combo of sets #1 and #2, and that feels like v5/6. I intend to swap in set #3 holds on the 35 degree wall problem, as a means of progression. Of course, I have yet to send that set #1 and #2 problem...

Hard trainers

So I got these holds to try to test out/train tension and finger strength. And they do just that. Between vertical and 35 degrees these crimps can create anything between V0 to V8 (harder as well, but I am setting for longevity of my tendons and muscles -- just fairly standard at home training and movement). However, I felt like at a 45 you would be HARD pressed to just set with these holds and have it feel easier than V10. Now this is relative, because I am just creating simple 5 move problems at that angle (basically spray board movement). What I really like about them though is that even at the steeper angle the hold is still hangable, even if you can't move on the hold initially there is a pathway to train into it.
