Climbing Holds…

You hungry? You at the rock climbing gym? Well this is the article for you because while you are climbing you are gonna be thinking about how the climbing holds remind you of certain candies.

Pockets– Mini M&M’s are pockets because they have the little container they are in and if you do not dump the whole container in your mouth then you reach in with your fingers like you would reach in a pocket hold.

Jugs– Hersheys chocolate bars are like Jugs because they are the most well known candy and you can eat it in one piece or multiple pieces like jugs where you have one good jug or usually multiple good jugs to hold on to and they are most well known type of holds. 

Pinches– Kit Kat bar are like pinches because you usually take one bite at a time after you break them apart and you make your two fingers like a ‘C’ shape and take bite for bite like how you make a ‘C’ with your hand when grabbing pinches. 

Crimps– Jaw Breakers are like crimps because with Jaw breakers you really have to put in work and time to eat it and on crimps you have to really practice and work those moves on the routes with crimps in them. 

Slopers– Jolly Ranchers are like Slopers because they are round in some way and slippery so you got to make sure you have a good grip on them out of the wrappers like having a good grip on Slopers or else you will fall off. 

I hope you enjoyed the article. When you eat candy or are at the climbing gym and this article comes to your mind bring it up with other climbers to compare how the rock climbing holds are just like certain candies.
