Overview
Reviews

Every setter knows that rails are fun to set with. Good ole matching holds that start your boulder problem. We like to set with these to make a well-deserved rest spot or to create a launch pad for a dyno. This set not only adds function to your routes but also comes with a beautiful sandstone aesthetic design.

These holds are big in terms of length for matching. In general, these are not jugs except for one. They measure about 12 inches long, give or take. You can expect to get 1 to 2 finger pads of real estate from four of the holds. There is one hold that will give you 3 finger pads deep which could be used in a roof.

In terms of location, they are positive enough to use on most angles of a wall.

On a 45 degree wall, these will yield enough purchase for the intermediate to advanced level climber to be challenged if spaced apart.

For the beginner climber, setting these close together on steep terrains will yield no less than V2.

Largest hold measures 12 inches wide x 6 inches tall x 2-1/4 inches off the wall
Smallest hold measures 10-1/2 inches wide x 4 inches tall x 2-1/4 inches off the wall

Versatile, fun set.

These have been a really fun addition to my wall. I have all of them up right now, some upside down, some vertical, and they add a really nice dynamic. I appreciate that they are all slightly different in terms of depth, which means I can start with an easier one and then swap out with a less incut one if I want to make the route harder. The texture is SUPER grippy, and there is enough variety that I can use them on tough routes, and then also set some easier ones for my kids to use.

Love 'EM!

So much fun to set with! These holds are solid! I have a wall that is ~45˚. Being a beginner to intermediate climber I need some holds that have a little lee-way and these fill that niche. The Sandstone texture/aesthetic is very attractive. These are a little on the rough side so beginners be warned! Once your skin is used to the abuse though, have fun! I set these up the wall for a channeled route with some technical foot-work. Very fun!

Killer Holds!

I built myself an 11 ft., 40º wall and these are super fun to use to split routes or even just to set a single-"edge" route. Three of the holds are shallower than the other two. These holds are functional and incredibly fun. I highly recommend these if you are intermediate to advanced at bouldering.

Best set of holds I've purchased for my wall.

Love having these on my 45 degree wall, they work great for a dyno start, juggy end hold or turned sideways for an interesting pinch or side pull.

Diversity!

Great range in this set—jug, crimp, undercling, pinch. On 30 degrees, I'd say two are extremely beginner friendly while the rest are a bit more challenging. I expect to get more and more out of them as I advance as a climber.

Really fun

These are probably my favorite holds on my home wall. A lot of variety among the 5 with one being very deep (red in the picture), another having two sides to hold from (blue in the picture), and another (the green one) offering interesting ways to pinch or grab e.g. there's a small pocket at the top of the Y. All of them are large enough to match and add interesting features.

Bazinga!

I was in need of some dual start holds, so I chose this set. I was not disappointed. I was also pleasantly surprised that most of them weren't super juggy and provided many options within each hold. Underclings, pinches, jugs and crimps! What more could you ask for? Great addition for the V1-V3 climber on walls between 0 and 30 Degrees.

These are my favorite out of the sandstone series, they almost feel like small features with all of thier different shapes on my wall it is a blast to set routes with them

Excellent training holds

To be honest, I didn't thoroughly read the description, and I was expecting some more great roof jugs to help make warming up a little easier! Instead, what I got were bomber training rails for all sorts of movement. There was a particularly bad one that I ended up needing to put onto the 25 instead of the roof, but the others have been great for V6-V7-ish compression boulders (don't have features yet, so no good oppositional feet, just toe tension).

Amazing

These are great as the reviews said! I'm pretty stoked on these. They're very versatile and it was hard to decide how/where to set them. Beautiful in earth tones #1, I feel it compliments the sandstone pattern :D

Awesome set

This set is really cool and diverse. We have it for our home wall. Allows for fun setting options. Some holds are more positive and others are shallow. Fun for hand foot matches or heel hooks too.

Infinite Variety

Received these about a week ago and they're our favorite set thus far on our 8x8 adjustable (usually 20 degree) home wall. The five rails are very different, as one of the other reviews pointed out. One in particular is a very shallow jug-type grip that's great for the fingers, while we have the really deep jug set up as an undercling for starts. Another lends itself to a middle-of-wall sidecling setup because we can use it for routes on both sides and for traverse routes. I imagine a lot of other reviewers are expert climbers, but we're all more V1/V2ish and still getting a ton out of these. We need a lot more practice to master them at 30 degrees, I'll say that.

Fun set

Endless good grip possibilities. Easy on the skin. Can usually be used a match. Excellent in steep terrain. These would still be fun on low angle terrain as V0.

Great set of holds. Period.

I love this set. The sandstone texture is super gritty so when your finger pads hit it, you know they're going to stick. Each of these 5 holds has a truly endearing quality. Hold 1) A double jug with 2+ finger pads of depth. Awesome on steep overhanging terrain. Hold 2) Mounted horizontally it's incut at the top AND the bottom for a really challenging under cling. Vertically, you grab it with both hands on either side as a side cling or one hand on each side. Really unique for a hold. Hold 3) Super positive finger grip with nice skimming thumb catch. Hold 4) Basically, grab it any way you want. This hold has so much variety you could never exhaust ways to set it. Hold 5) The smallest of the set has very positive fingers with great thumb catches below. If you start rotating these hold around there's no end to the possibilities. Very, very versatile.

Amazing!

I love these! I'm using one as the launching hands for a dyno, another for a very difficult pincher on a 30 degree wall, another for a side pull move, and another for a sweet undercling. They can be used in a lot of different ways. For the price, no other holds have added so much variety to my wall!

Awesome!

I love these holds! They offer tremendous possibilities and are damn fun to yard on. I have a 60 degree overhang and these holds have a place in just about every sequence.
