The Hourglass Pinches set offers six medium-sized climbing holds designed for versatility and challenge.

These uniquely shaped pinches resemble the form of an hourglass, providing a variety of grip styles. Each hold differs in pinchability, making them perfect for vertical orientation where a firm pinch is required. Additionally, they can be rotated and used as edges for more technical climbing routes. Featuring anti-rotation screw holes for secure installation, these holds are ideal for climbers aiming to improve their grip strength on vertical walls.

Available in multiple colors, Hourglass Pinches are an excellent addition to any climbing wall setup.

Key Features:

  • Set of 6 medium-sized hourglass-shaped pinches
  • Can be used as pinches or rotated as edges
  • Different levels of pinchability for variety
  • Anti-rotation screw hole
  • Requires 6 x 1.5" bolts for mounting
  • Available in various colors

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.

An absolute staple.

These are fantastic holds, great value, amazing texture and finishing, very directional but versatile as pinches or edges. I am loving them as edges, each of the 12 individual edges is slightly different from sloping to almost incut. For the price it is an absolute no brainer. Of all the UCB holds, I think I would like to see this set expanded on over all others. An addition of another 4-6 in this style but a bit larger would be unreal. Just add them to your next order.
