Endurance climbing isn’t just about being strong—it’s about staying on the wall longer, moving efficiently, and maintaining grip over extended sessions. The right holds can make or break your training cycle.
At Ledge Climbing, we handcraft small-batch holds designed to help you push your limits without tearing up your skin. Here’s how to pick the perfect shapes for building power endurance.
What to Look For in Endurance Holds
1. Skin-Friendly Texture
Endurance sessions involve high repetition. You want holds that are grippy without being abrasive.
2. Comfortable Grip Shapes
Rounded edges, ergonomic pinches, and slopers are better for long intervals than razor crimps.
3. Moderate Difficulty
You should be able to stay on the wall for 30–60 moves without failure. If the holds are too hard, you’ll burn out before training endurance effectively.
4. Variety in Grip Types
Mix jugs, edges, pinches, and slopers to mimic real outdoor routes and avoid overuse injuries.
