Power in climbing isn’t just about pulling hard—it’s about explosive movement, body coordination, and grip strength. If you want to train for dynamic boulders or steep overhangs, the holds you choose for your home wall will make all the difference.
At Ledge Climbing, we design small-batch holds that challenge you to move with intention while building raw power.
Why Hold Choice Shapes Power Training
-
Grip Engagement – Larger holds force full-hand tension, while pinches and slopers require compression.
-
Movement Variety – Power isn’t just campusing; it’s dynamic coordination with both hands and feet.
-
Core Integration – The right holds push you to use your whole body, not just your fingers.
Best Hold Types for Power Training
1. Pinches – Train thumb strength and upper body compression.
2. Slopers – Force you to rely on open-hand tension and body position.
3. Jugs – Ideal for dynamic coordination moves like dynos.
4. Rails – Encourage cross-body tension and powerful sidepulls.
5. Screw-On Feet – For precision footwork on steep terrain.
