Climbing Holds that bring the Gorge home

Post by ecp88 »

I've been developing my home wall over the past two years and have only sampled three hold companies; Atomik, Three Ball, and Rock Candy. Rock Candy's Dimple series seems to replicate the feel of Gorge rock fairly well. I'm expanding the wall and open to suggestions for holds. Any suggestions?

Tony Reynaldo made a series that were designed after the holds at the Red. Not sure for what company though.
Can't we all just get along?

Voodoo's 3 finger pockets listed under System holds.
Teknik makes very nice super positive crimps (screw on).
Something like 10 holds for $30.

Back in the day Franklin made a Huge set of pockets, crimps and jugs that were/are the closest to the Red to date. No one makes anything that is as close as the Franklin holds were. I am sure you could find these used with an ebay search or something.
Oh man, he is messing that up. However, he is missing his left leg so that way would probably be harder for him. SCIN, just before spraying some beta for a climber doing a route the WRONG way.

These are the closest to the Red holds. But if you look at all the Specialty sets offered by Franklin they are near perfect matches to the Red. the only ones that aren't as close are the Contact Set, everything else will get you ready for this Spring in the Red.
