Atomik Climbing Holds Granite Pinches

Yes, they are excellent for beginners. Because the set includes fifteen different edge variations and eight pinch widths, you can easily start on vertical walls where the holds feel more positive and gradually progress to steeper angles as your strength improves.

These are screw-on holds, meaning they attach directly to your wall surface using wood screws rather than bolts. You will need to provide your own screws, as mounting hardware is not included in the set.

The granite texture is designed to mimic the friction and feel of real rock, which is generally more skin-friendly than the aggressive, sandpaper-like texture found on many standard polyurethane holds. It provides a realistic tactile experience that is great for training finger strength and technique.

Absolutely. While they are approachable on vertical walls, they become significantly more challenging on a 45-degree overhang. At that angle, they function as V8+ level holds, making them a great tool for high-intensity training.

This set includes five individual holds. Given their compact size and variety of shapes, they are best used as a supplement to a larger set of holds to add specific pinch and edge training options to your wall.
