Crag Block Plus

25mm incut edge

• The warmup and heavy lifting edge.
• The edge radius and incut is carefully designed for open and half crimp positions. The incut and edge base curvature is tuned with the texture to provide a confidence inspiring edge for you to get ready to try hard and to try very hard. The base of the edge is frictionless and nestles your tips for a great tactile experience.
• Unlike the 20mm edge on the original Crag Block, the 25mm features a subtle ridge centered at the base of the edge. This ridge helps with tactile wayfinding while subtly transferring very light load from your overworked middle finger to your other digits.

15mm edge

• Not as incut as the 25mm edge, the 15mm preps your fingers for more specific crimping. Like the 25mm edge, the 15mm is tuned for conducive open and half crimp grips.

10mm edge

• The 10mm edge has the most dramatic difference in feel when you swap the cord configuration from incut to flat. As you grip smaller and smaller holds, the difficulty and specificity increases. When incut, the edge will feel best as an open hand crimp. It will also feel larger than 10mm... Because it is greater than 8mm. The measurement of the curvature brings that edge to skin contract distance closer to 12mm. Flip the cord to the flat configuration and it will feel like a 10mm edge that you need to half crimp. The geometry just makes it conducive for an engaged crimp. If you're crimping a micro edge, you're likely half or closed crimping it like you might this 8mm. That's why it's designed this way.

Pinch

• The 60mm (about 2.5") pinch is tapered to flow with the curvature of the edges, reducing weight and material while providing an incut or slopey pinch depending on if you pull from the top or bottom. 
• A lot of portable blocks claim that you can pinch them. This pinch is actually ergonomic.

Pocket

• At either end of the block, there's a step between the 25mm and 15mm edges that provide you an ergonomic opportunity for two finger pocket pulls for both your front and middle pairs. The corners of the edges are sculpted to give you a comfort focused incut that nestles your fingers in just the right way. So comfortable that even monos are tempting.
  

Skin File

• The inset skin file is designed to be flush or slightly recessed from the bottom of the block to be less intrusive when you don't need the sanding but proud enough that you can file down your tips with precision.

Cord

• The cord is manufacturer rated for 550lbs of force. The bright sheath allows for easy identification in the depths of your bag and so you don't forget it at the crag.
