You may find yourself in a situation were you are chatting to climbers and companies and they are talking complete gibberish to you, that's only because you don't understand the terminology,

Well here is the customholds guide to the terms.

Flat edge:

A term used for a hold, that is simply a flat edge on one side of the hold, generally a good hold to hang on, until  you start putting them on steeper walls, then they become more difficult to hang on to

Incut Jug:

This generally means that you can get your whole hand behind it, This hold id best for children, on the roof or someone who has just started climbing.

In cut Edge:

Not as good as the jug, but you can still get your fingers behind, These types of holds are normally associated with finger jugs  or positive edges, Ideal on any angle of wall, and totally suitable for any level of climber.

The Pinch:

The pinch speaks for itself really, something you have to pinch to be able to use correctly, Now if you out the hold sideways on a vertical wall, you turn them into a good multi use climbing hold, with an in cut edge on one side and a good undercut on the other. So don't be put off buying these types of holds

The Sloper:

These are probable the worst holds, The are generally quite rounded in shape and very hard to hang on, these are great for the more dedicated climber, a great hold to practise contact strength with.
