Reviews

"A Gaston (pronounced gas-tone), named for the stylish French climber Gaston Rebuffat, is a handhold that is similar to a sidepull. Like a sidepull, a Gaston is a hold that is oriented either vertically or diagonally and is usually in front of your torso or face. To use a Gaston, grab the hold with your fingers and palm facing into the rock and your thumb pointing downward." Stewart Green

So cool!

I got these for my kids. What a fun and clever idea for a hold! My 4 yr old daughter is a huge fan of Beauty & The Beast and she immediately took a liking to these because she assumed they were named after the antagonist of the film. This led to our new saying for remembering Gaston technique: “Thumbs down for Gaston!”
