The Mantis set features 10 edges with a nice smooth-radius designed for steep walls with angles ranging from 30 to 45 degrees. These slightly incut edges are perfect for intermediate to advanced climbers seeking to improve their grip and finger strength. With enough depth for all four fingers and comfortable thumb catches, the holds are gentle on tendons and skin while offering a solid challenge.

Whether you're training or setting hard problems, these versatile holds will keep your sessions engaging. Ideal for use on overhung walls, Mantis holds are a must-have for any serious climber.

Requires 10 x 1.5" bolts.

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.

Super fun.

These holds are so good. They climb very well on 20-30 degree walls and feel great. Texture is good and just deep enough to hold. Make me feel strong!!

Great incut edges for a 45

By: on 15 January 2014
Tested on a 45 degree wall. Tendon- and skin-friendly incut edges, most with a decent thumb-catch. Typically one pad deep and wide enough for all four fingers. The two biggest holds are very matchable. Enough variability in size and shape to fine-tune difficulty of problems and stay interesting. Great for problems starting at about V3, and for intermediate climbers wanting to train up their finger strength. My favourite hold set so far.

Favourite set so far

These are perfect edges for a 45 wall. They all have a raised, rounded lip on them for they are much easier to hold than they look, and very skin friendly too. They are so good.... we now have 2 sets
