Frankie, also known as Frankenskull, is a bold and visually striking climbing hold designed to make a statement on any wall.

This deep jug offers plenty of room for both hands, making it perfect for dynamic movements and creative routes. Its gentle sandstone-like texture provides excellent grip without being too abrasive, while the extra screw hole in the nose prevents spinning, ensuring stability. Ideal for climbers who appreciate a blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, Frankie adds a unique character to your climbing setup.

Whether used as a primary jug or for awkward matches, it’s an unforgettable hold that delivers on both performance and style.

Requires 1 x 2" bolt.

View on Your Wall

Depending on your MOBILE device and browser you may have the option to view this hold/set in Augmented Reality (AR) on your wall. Will not work on desktop.

How to view in AR:

  1. If you see the link "View on Your Wall", simply tap the link and wait for 1-4 seconds.  Link not visible?  Your device/browser is not AR capable.
  2. When your camera opens and the 3D model of the hold appears, point your camera at a well lit wall and the hold will be "placed" there.  If your camera does not open, your device/browser is not AR capable.
  3. Once placed, you can move your device around the hold, get close, move out, above, below, place your hand close to it, rotate using two fingers.

I have tested using an iphone 12 pro (ios 17.1) and latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari and they work perfect.

TIPS:  

  • Best results seem to be with Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
  • Wall/surface needs to be well lit
  • Seems to help for there to be something else on the wall, like art, light switch, door/window frame close to where you want to place object, needs reference points
  • If hold moves around, then it needs some reference point close by, see point above
  • Brick/textured walls work well
  • Object can be placed on flat surfaces too, but since it is a climbing hold it will be oriented vertically
  • You can rotate the hold with 2 fingers
  • Hopefully soon you will be able to place object on overhanging walls in the correct orientation
  • Not working but you feel it should?  There are so many variables that could prevent it from working, but the code I am using is written by a third party and I have zero control over it.

Fun Frankie

Frankie is a deep jug, so it’s great at the top of the 35° wall. It’s gently contoured so it’s easy on the fingers, and it’s textured for grip, but not abrasion, so it’s a first class hold. There’s also room for some creativity with finger placement, since the face is well featured. Visually it’s the most striking and recognisable hold on the wall, and it adds considerable character/atmosphere to the wall. It’s a fantastic hold and a big hit.

Two handed fun

This thing obviously looks awesome. The jug is nice and big with a great edge radius lots of space for two hands. I am really enjoying using it sideways or as an awkward match. The detail of the face and eyes provide some other interesting grips too.
