5 XL Simple Pinches

James Kase

Simply great

These holds are just the right size for wide pinches. 2 are jugs that I pair with the xxl pinches on a 45 degree wall. The rest are perfect for my 20 or vertical wall.

Good Mix of Style and Challenge

For just five holds, there is quite a range in what to hold in this set! The wide pinches are subtle enough to force good positioning, while the thinner ones are very juggy, especially on lower angles.

Exactly as advertised

A great variety pack of pinches for the home wall. The two most positive V3-5 on the 40 degree wall. The three least positive are V2-4 on a 25 degree wall. Each one varies slightly in positivity from one side to the other.

XL simple pinches

This is a nice set of holds, especially with the variation of the incuts. The shallower ones are almost like a smaller sloper. I have these set on a 20 degree overhanging wall and I like to use the more incut holds as matches. Sometimes I turn the horizontally to make them slightly easier to hold, but you still need a good squeeze.  I do try to be mindful because some of the climbers(kids) on our home wall have smaller hands and some of these are a stretch for them to use. Overall I’m pleased with these.

Great training board holds

I set these on my 45 degree training board. The most positive one is like a V3/4/5 depending on how you use it and the next most positive is V4/5 probably. The other three are quite slopey but can definitely be used in some compression or with good footholds. I love them and have set quite a few problems using them.

Nice Pinches

Two of these pinches feel positive and I can match on them on my 30deg overhang wall.  The other three are much less positive and are hard to pull down on directly on my wall.  Those three are much nicer when set to the side.

Fun Squeezing

These pinches work wonders on all angles. I was worried the hardest holds wouldn’t function on our 60, but they did! One side is slightly better on each pinch, which lends to comfort, while still being great to force flips and recycles. I think two sets of these would be ideal for any home wall, and they certainly will help you learn how to squeeze the juice out of pinches.

Great, multi-functional holds

I put this set of XL pinches on an outdoor woody, and they are great! The size range gives you a lot of options. Due to the side incuts, you can also use these as nice chunky edges or rotate them horizontally. The texture is a little rough compared to the holds at my gym, but this comes in handy when it's early morning and things are covered in dew.
