5 Medium Granite Edges Steep Wall (Screw-on)

Overview

These are great shapes to introduce beginners to more difficult-to-grip shapes. The edges are incut tangling from 45 to 60 degrees, so they stay incut into steep wall terrain. On vertical walls, the incuts feel like 1-1/4" deep jugs. 

For the more advanced V4+ climber, you already know that you are laying your fingers over the lip of the hold to grab it. On average, you will get a full finger pad deep plus an extra 1/4" of depth. This means these holds accommodate large hands well. 

The incuts have a realistic look and feel to them with natural angle and depth changes. 

On a 45-degree overhanging wall, I could set hard V5 and easy V6 with some tracking. If you use smaller feet than these holds on a traversing route, you can get to V7. 

• SIZE: The average hold measures 5" wide x 3" tall x 1-1/4" standing off the wall. 
• V1 on a vertical wall as two rails have an incut.  
• V3/4 on a 25-degree wall. 
• V6+ on 45-degree walls. 
• TEXTURE: Rock-like granite texture.
