Holds Polyester (PE)

What two types of holds exist?

Climbing holds are mainly produced in two different materials polyurethane (PU) and polyester (PE).

PU holds are lighter, strong and impact resistant. PU holds won't chip easily or break when tightened. 

PE holds offer ultimate wear resistance. PE holds also have good UV stability and thus they are ideal for outdoor walls.

Subcategories

  • Slopers (PE)
    <p><strong>Slopers</strong> are big bulges with no positive angle for your hands to grip. Friction is super important here.</p>
  • Jugs (PE)
    <p><strong>Jugs</strong> are big, open holds that you can get your whole hand around. Jugs are most people’s favorite because they’re so easy to grip and they provide an excellent rest.</p>
  • Pockets (PE)
    <p><strong>Pockets</strong> are holes in the rock or in this case holds that simulate 1,2 or 3 finger pockets. </p>
  • Crimps (PE)
    <p>A <strong>crimp</strong> is a very small edge that’s only big enough for the pads of your fingers.</p>
  • Pinches (PE)
    <p>A <strong>pinch</strong> is exactly what it sounds like—any piece of rock that you can pinch with your thumb on one side and your fingers on the other.</p>
  • Footholds (PE)
    <p>Footholds, although generally quiet small, can take any shape and size. Like the term implies, these holds serve as holds for your feet.</p>
  • Training (PE)
    <p>System Holds make up System Walls. That's fancy for a pair of climbing training holds that feel the same for the left and right hand. By training with system climbing holds, you can target crimp, sloper, pocket, pinch, compression, and any other grip you want to repeat. </p>
  • Screw-ons (PE)
    <p>Screw-on describes the fixation method of the climbing hold. Some climbing holds require only 1 M10 screw, this entails the risk of rotation of the hold. Other holds only provide screw on method, SPAX screws are used to fix the hold and ideally a hold will have both options, a central M10 fixation with 1 or more SPAX holes to prevent rotation. </p>
  • Edges (PE)
    <p><strong>Edges</strong> are the most common holds you find. They can be tiny dime edges, long cuts in the wall or huge ledges.</p>
