Enix Climbing Cobbles Line Review

Enix Climbing Cobbles Line Hold Review from Chris Majerczyk on Vimeo.

The Cobbles line from Enix Climbing offers 28 holds:

• 10 small- $90
• 5 Medium- $86
• 5 Larger- $127
• 5 XL- $175
• 3 XXL-$240

They are suitable for any skill level, they look amazing, and are an absolute BLAST to climb on.  The texture is sandstone like and has that perfect mix of grit and comfort.  All but the Small holds (which are solid pour) feature impeccable hollow-back construction with a reinforced center column and crossbar, cutting weight but not skimping on structural integrity.

The bulbous Cobbles are aesthetically pleasing - smooth, clean, comfortable shapes that scream to be climbed on. The Enix logo is centered and clearly visible, with a dual textured finish that does not interfere with the gripping surfaces.

Small holds are palm sized. On the other end of the spectrum, the XXL allows a climber to not only match, but readjust hands before moving. All sizes would work very well up to 20 degrees, but at that point the smalls become very difficult and the other sizes really start to shine.  The M-XXL holds are at home on steep terrain.  We used almost every one of them on our 50 degree wall ranging from V2-V5.  They are surprisingly positive (as long as your feet don’t cut) and couldn’t be more tendon friendly.  The Small and Medium Cobbles worked well on the 50 degree wall when placed on volumes, and the texture even lends them for use as foot holds on steep terrain.  On vertical walls, V0- would be easily set.  

The only room for improvement would be the addition of countersunk set screw holes, particularly on the XL and XXL sizes.  The size of the footprint and large useable space on these holds WILL result in spinners (we spun one in problem #4) 

All things considered, these holds are HIGHLY RECCOMENDED across the board.
