Overview

In 2008, Atomik's hold designer Andy Knight ventured in to the enchanted forest of Fontainebleau, France. From that experience, he came away with a personal knowledge of how the brain-like texture of these famous sandstone boulders really look and feel. When he returned home, he went to work transferring that experience to climbing hold design.

These slopers have been shaped in the Font style to have a more positive feel to them. You can create fun moves on steep terrain or an enjoyable "every man's" sloper problem on gentler angles. Whatever you come up with, it's sure to be as classic as the forest itself.

    Fun Style and Aesthetic

    The font set from Atomik all has a cool look to it with the texture, and for some reason the "bleau" gets a lot of shout-outs from clients as a fun and interesting set. While each has a few clear orientations that are more positive, on lower angle walls they can be flipped around all kinds of ways to create more thoughtful and challenging problems.

    Great texture and variety for slopers

    I have these on my 40 degree wall and really enjoy them.  The texture is great and the variety of shapes can allow for some fun setting.  Depending on orientation they can feel V2 to Vhard.

    Challenging!

    On my 30-degree wall, these are more difficult than I, as a newer climber, anticipated. Really great shape and texture though—two are less positive than the rest. Looking forward to getting stronger on these.

    Great Starter Slopers

    I put these holds on my COVID woody, and they felt great for me and my 9-yr old daughter. Enough edge for beginners to feel like you’re not going to completely fall off, but slopey enough to really build hand strength. Shipping was timely and the process was totally smooth!

    Very similar to Font style holds

    These are great - you can flip them around for a straight forward sloper, there are some uncut crips within the sloper (like Font), also make for great surface to practice heel hooks.

    Big and challenging

    These are fantastic slopers that are big enough to match on. I purchased this set along with set #2, and can confirm that set #1 is a bit more positive. A couple of them have slightly indented "edges" that allow you to dig in a bit. I use a few of these on my 35 degree wall, and they are in the V4/5 range, when paired with the super small cobble feet. On my 18'  tall vertical/slightly overhanging wall they feel V3ish in the most positive orientation, but they can be made much more difficult by rotating. If you've got the space, I suggest pairing these with set #2, the XXL font sloper,  the XXXL font pinch, and the 10 super small cobble feet. So much slopey goodness!

    Classic Font Holds

    I have set commercially with a lot of different companies variations on Font texture, including the new/old Pusher lines, and these earnestly stand with the bunch. They are perhaps my favorite slopers from Atomik, out of the 6 or so sets I have right now (Dripstone steep wall and noraml, regular steep wall slopers, logo holds, etc.) I love that they have good spots for multiple orientations, and every hold can be used as either a left or right, and at least three of them are conceivably matchable. They work on our 45 degree wall around V6/7, and could probably be made to work as easy as V5 with big enough feet on that angle. Love them so much!

    Texture of Font is Great

    These are the go to slopers.  They offer variety.  The style of font gives additional purchase on hold, so you can go harder on the steeps. Then you can rotate and make it very hard.  This set Offers a great range of setting options.  The texture of font is one of my favorites.

    Love these holds and Atomik

    I love this set of slopers.  The creases provide subtle thumb catches and finger placements and they really work your open handed contact strength.  The texture is awesome as well.  All in all atomik provides the best holds at the best price.  And their customer service is awesome. There was a minor mistake in my order, so I called Kenny up and told him about it and he corrected the mistake and more than made up for it in free stuff. ATOMIK IS AWESOME!
