This hold is a good addition to our home climbing wall. It's great pinch that tapers, the length makes it great for 2 handed pinching, has a narrow end that smaller hands can pinch, and a fatter end for larger hands/fatter pinch. Lots of options with this - use it as a pinch, turn it and use as a rail, and the fatter end has kind of a slope to it( my son wants to try that ) The texture of the hold is real grippy, you can get a good hold of it with or without chalk.
