The XL Edge 18 climbing hold offers a sloping edge with unique dimples for added grip and control. With one side featuring a slight lip and the opposite side textured with dimpled, golf ball-like divots, XL Edge 18 is designed to challenge your grip strength while providing subtle thumb placements. This versatile hold is ideal for varied wall angles, allowing climbers to test and improve their precision and control.

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.

A great, but lonely hold

Such a great flat edge with friendly textured dimples. The sad thing is that this hold stands alone and doesn't come with another 5-9 friends!

Very cool edge

The divots/dimples are a nice feature and make the hold easier as the wall angles gets steeper.

Hard

This thing is very hard on a 45, possibly best at lesser angles. The little thumb divots make all the difference with such a slopey hold.
