Overview

The XXL Soccer Ball is a pure sloper designed to test technique, body tension, and open-handed strength. Hand-shaped to match the size of a real soccer ball cut in half, this oversized feature hold brings realistic sports-ball styling and serious climbing challenge to any wall.

Unlike holds that offer positive edges or finger catches, the Soccer Ball demands proper movement and positioning. Its rounded profile provides very little to hold onto, making it an excellent training tool for climbers looking to improve their sloper skills. On vertical terrain, expect the difficulty to feel around V3, requiring careful weight distribution and precise body control to stay connected.

Despite its challenge, the XXL Soccer Ball is also an excellent progression hold for newer climbers. It introduces the fundamentals of sloper climbing in a way that helps beginners develop the techniques needed to move beyond basic holds and into more advanced climbing.

The large surface area makes it ideal for compression moves, off-angle climbing, and creative route setting. Whether you're building a sports-themed wall, setting technical boulder problems, or training for better sloper performance, this hold delivers a unique and rewarding challenge.
