6 Yaniro Crimps

Love the old school texture and feel on these babies. The set varies from pretty positive to god awful so they compliment the 45 nicely. The large ones have a pretty serious lip on them so they worked better as underclings for me.

If you want to train on holds that will improve your crimping on polished edges, these are it.  They are challenging and on a 39 degree wall easily break into v7+ range.  I mixed a couple good crimps into a problem with these and it is still easily V8.  The great thing about these is that you have to focus on being steady and having control when you go to them.  Otherwise you slip right off.  The fact that it forces me to work on that everytime I grab these makes me love them.

These guys are all pretty tough on a 45, but the bigger ones are certainly easier, probably clocking in at around V4/5 while the small ones get substantially harder. The smooth texture is nice, but the lip is kinda sharp on most of them. Make sure you're a seasoned climber with good tendons before you start pulling hard on these
