Yaniro Power Bulbs #3 (Bolt-on) ( Set of 2 )

I bought 4 pairs of these for my 60° wall. Lots of nostalgia associated with these from climbing on them in the early 90's. On my 60° wall they yield the difficulty I was hoping for. I set a power problem in the V7 range with them and found them challenging and fun. I love the ability to pull down on them then then flip to an undercling for larger moves. On a 60° each hold probably requires V3 strength to use. On my 45° they'd feel juggier but still fun to pull on. The smoother texture is great for training and makes them harder to hang on as well. Frankly I'd love to have some more of these for more power problems since dynamic moves to them are fun to stick on the steep stuff.

I was under the impression this would be a 'harder' hold, but it felt pretty juggy even at 45 degrees. It's just very positive assuming you can get your hand all the way around the top. I couldn't find a comfortable position to get a thumb catch on it, but I didn't need it regardless.

The texture isn't quite as flawless as the photo makes it seem? At least in the holds that I received, I can see lots of small flat patches.

Although the yaniro texture itself is really jarring to see and it's smooth unlike any other hold I've seen.

Granted slopers are my favorite along with pinches, so I could be skewed in my interpretation of this hold, but it does seem like this is on the easy side imo as oppose to intermediate like I was expecting.
