The Squid is a versatile medium-sized climbing hold featuring three curved scoops that are ideal for slopers and wide pinches.

Its flowing design allows for varied grip positions, with edges ranging from sloping to slightly incut. This hold provides climbers with multiple challenges, whether you're practicing pinch strength or working on sloper techniques. The Squid also includes a pre-drilled screw hole to prevent spinning, ensuring secure and stable use on any wall angle.

Key features:

  • Medium-sized hold with three curved scoops for sloper and pinch grips
  • Suitable for sloping and slightly incut grip positions
  • Pre-drilled screw hole for anti-rotation
  • Requires 1 x 1.5" bolt for installation

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.

Subtle Pinches

A nice medium size hold with a variety of pinches and sloped edges. Texture feels wonderful when you've got sad skin!

Always interesting

The Squid is wonderful. There are so many ways to hold this thing, so it’s difficult to describe, other than to say it’s large, grippy and comfortable. It’s most positive areas make it easy on the 90° wall, and I’m not sure how it’ll go on the 35° wall, but I’m interested to find out. It’s a playful shape that’s been a wonderful addition to the wall. I highly recommend.
