Resin pockets
January 23, 2022, 10:50:40 pm
I’m in the market for procuring a number of two finger resin pockets. The only ones I’ve found up to this point seem to be the Bleaustone set; this comes with 2, 3 and 4 finger pockets (2 of each in a set).

Does anybody know of any manufacturers that sell these individually at all?

I don't know of any manufacturer that sells pockets individually (and I prob would).
Here's a selection of pockets, including the bleaustone training pockets, available from beta climbing in the uk

(select pockets on LHS)

Also, Core Climbing is just south of sheff, and Cheryl at info@coreclimbing.co.uk may be able to sort you out, perhaps with seconds? Dunno

Any reason they have to be resin?

Rick Ginns off here makes pockets. Also some nice monos. Both in wood.

Will at hardwood holds had some lovely pockets he made for someones birthday the other night also.

I have this set from Wataaah.

They're nice. Good on skin and have a mix of open and crimped grips. You get a few monos with them as well which are also nice although quite hard.

Thanks for the shoutouts all, much appreciated.

That link doesn’t work sorry but think I’ve found what you’re referring to.

Adam, I don’t manage to get outdoors with the frequency I used to and find that resin holds keep my tips quite ‘rock fit’. I also prefer resin holds by and large.
