This Black Walnut Jug has a comfortable 30 degree textured grip surface that is a full finger’s length deep. The flared lip of the hold encourages tightening your thumb and crimping on this generous hold. This hold is just large enough to be a solid two-hand starter hold, but matching to it will be trickier while in the middle of a climb.

This particular piece of Nebraskan Black Walnut has a small amount of curly figure running vertical through the wood, and it even has some black spalting on the thumb rests!
