climbing hold
Bolted wall protrusion
A climbing hold is a grip attached to an artificial climbing wall or a natural feature on rock that climbers grasp or stand on.
Holds come in various shapes—jugs, crimps, slopers, pinches—each requiring different grip techniques.
The route was all slopers and bad feet.
Indoor climbing walls use manufactured holds bolted to plywood or concrete surfaces.
