5 Small Golfus Edges Set #1

These holds have pretty mellow divots in key spots allowing for a few strategic thumb placements for added grip.  Their well-formed shapes and the 2.0 texture make them very comfortable to grip.  Most are very positive when upright or as side-pulls and they can certainly be used on more difficult routes if the wall is at a bigger angle or if you set them upside down.  These are awesome for the price!

I may be rating this a bit harshly. I am happy with the holds but they arent as diverse in usage as so many of Atomik's other holds. I'd probably give it at least one more star if I was comparing to other hold companies. These do fill a roll, they are simple incuts that can flesh-out a climb, and the golfus style means that every one will be a little different (maybe a thumb catch in a different place).

I absolutely love the texture on these holds. They are so soft and pleasing to grab. I have them on a 40 degree wall and find them fairly easy but you can also set some challenging problems with them using bad feet. I’m a v4/5 climber.

Smooth but grippy texture (Atomik 2.0) is easy on the skin.  These have nice variable surface with some small indents.  This demands you be precise to get the best grip.  A skill that you need when climbing real rock routes.  These are perfect crimps for moderately overhanging walls.

I like these on reachy moves where the holds aren’t completely horizontal. There’s a divot for The thumb to land which sometimes makes it feel like a pinch when oriented vertically. I like flipping these or putting them at odd angles to increase the difficulty. Fun holds to mix it up.

We love the new Golfus holds for our walls and they are holding up great and making for some fun and challenging routs! I love the light divots/texture they have shaped these holds with and this set is perfect for getting into the Golfus style of holds without breaking the bank.
Once you have felt these you will be back for more of the awesome bigger holds!

This set has been nice to round out some warm up routes on my vertical wall.  I find them to be pretty easy on the vertical section, but that may be because I have small hands. They do get way more interesting on overhangs, but the overall feel and texture of them is really nice, and I appreciate the thumb divots.
