Title: Resin pockets
Post by: Monolith on 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?

Here's a selection of pockets, including the bleaustone training pockets, available from beta climbing in the uk

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

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.

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.
