Bleaustone Trainingstone Symmetrics

Thinking of buying these. Has anybody any experience with this set of holds?
What do you think?
How positive are they?
Ok for 45 degree Board? ( they look pretty small in the picture) Obviously depends what grade I climb   but routes are generally set between 7a - 7c

I would buy british rather than Bleaustone which are made in, and shipped from Slovenia.
I reckon www.coreclimbing.co.uk will have what you want. Their 'core' range are a set of exactly symmetrical training holds (you can get the brochure of the site) and they're comfy and very well designed.
I'm sure if you give them a call they'll put together something which will suit your requirements perfectly.

I've been informed that a training symetrics range is pretty high on core's to do list.

Brilliant cheers guys
I have had a look into all the different brands but was looking at maybe getting a selection from each to get a variety of textures and styles etc on the board, board holds 200+ holds , the bleaustone ones only being 20 of these, but just alittle unsure if they would be a little too stiff on a 45 degree board for a Meir mortal. The core range ones look ace tho and have already been in contact with them, very helpful peeps

did you get the slopers from core what they like???

[k2ted]

got some core crimps, pinches & pockets. good quality n lots cheaper than the bleaustone  - well recommended. Also got the bleaustone positive crimps which are good quality but core are equal to n loads cheaper. Wish I'd of got two sets of core crimps for £26 now......

core crimps - £13 for 5
Bleaustone positive crimps - £25 for 5

was thinking of the mixing the grit crimps with the core crimps they dont look too big... i take it you didnt get the slopers then??

[k2ted]

Not got em yet but was thinking of calling core and asking about slopers for a 14stone punter on 40 degree wall.

If I get them in next couple of wks I'll let you know.

[gruffalo]

Agreed. Keep it UK and also better if they are also manufactured here too.
