I don’t think this is a joke, climbing holds shaped and colours like various cheeses https://www.instagram.com/p/CImdMHlDHqU/
No chance of a drop knee (or a heel) on my board... They were almost beautifully packed - with a strip of masking tape covering the holes on the back - and then stuck where the tape was with double sided to a cardboard sheet (I’d have bunged them in a box) and a nice handwritten note came with them thanking me for buying them and hoping I enjoyed using them. 14 in total for £65. Each one different. Nice attention to detail. Not sure they’d exist comfortably on your board with those pockets!! 😱😁

They’re lovely!

Since I got the board up I've had a chance to use the Wataaah Dojo set a fair bit and must say I'm really impressed. Compared to some other resin holds that I've had to take sandpaper too, these have been kind on the skin and are really nice in terms of ergonomics. Anyone looking for some small edges should check out the Dojo 1 - I've got them on the 45 and the 30. The pockets (Dojo 6) are really nice as well. https://wataaah.de/en/dojo/
Core Geo screw-ons for something positive (though they can be installed flat side up) - https://coreclimbing.co.uk/buy-holds/shop-by-type/footholds/footholds-geo-screw-on-20mm-feet/
Bradders, I think the good 20mm edges are probably a good idea for the easier set to enable use of some terrible handholds. How many grades harder do the other set tend to be in comparison?
Currently I have a set of metolius greatest chips (all that I could get in go outdoors, march 2020 lockdown eve). They are all odd shapes which I thought was a good idea at first due to the variation, but I tend to always aim for the footholds I can use well and avoid the ones I can't. This is why I want two uniform sets.
Depending on how DIY you're feeling it'd be pretty easy to get some of the larger domes and add a flat edge on top for an easier foothold where you can avoid cutting more easily.

They're typically quite a hard and brittle wood which you're then cutting into on a curved surface and they also don't sit against the fence well, again due to circular base and curved shape. Large blade, small bit of wood.. plenty of scope for blade snagging/grabbing, dome rotating/ moving during cut. Worth finding a system which allows fingers to be well clear basically. Grandma out.
In the recent video of Ned he has some big, flat surfaced, but slightly downward sloping plastic footholds (ie look about vertical when mounted on a 45 board) which look perfect - not dependent on a new pair of shoes, but require loads of force to keep feet on. Anyone know where to get them?
