Garrettands

Garrettands is a type of holds, which can be found in rock climbing and bouldering. They are characterized by a series of small ledges or pockets that are used to support a climber's hands. These holds are typically small and irregularly shaped, often with rough or textured surfaces.

The term "Garrettands" is believed to have originated from the Garrett psychological manipulation, which was first popularized by Canadian climber and training coach, Stanislav Garret. However, it is not clear if there is any direct connection between the holds and the manipulation.

In terms of climbing technique, Garrettands are generally used as a challenges in training and bouldering, requiring a high level of dexterity and strength in the hands and fingers. Climbers often develop specific techniques and strategies for holding onto these types of holds, which can be used to improve their overall climbing efficiency.

Garrettands have been used in various climbing competitions and courses, as well as in commercial climbing gyms, to provide a fun and challenging way for climbers to train and improve their skills. They are considered by many climbers to be one of the most difficult types of holds to hold onto. Climbers can practice using Garrettands to improve their crimp reaching and general climbing prowess in comparison to open hand practice.
