Rock Climbing Mug (Oblong, Blue)

Product Information

The good thing about the Pinch Hold is that there’s no adhesive and the handhold is part of the mug itself.

At the very least it will get you used to the different ways in which you can approach and grip a hold and will probably result in some increased grip strength over time as well. Whether the Pinch Hold Mug is just a bit of fun or whether you can actually increase your grip strength by using it is hard to say. It’s actually quite easy to hold, at least when using a standard five finger grip, and I haven’t had any problems with the mug slipping. In some cases, these can become loose if the adhesive is exposed to too much heat (for example, from a hot drink). You can use different four, three, and even two finger grips and, because the handhold is asymmetric, holding the mug in your left hand opens up even more options.But I have been using it to drink hot coffee and tea and, while the handhold heats up a little bit, you can still drink from it as long as you’re careful. Instead of having a handle like a traditional mug, it’s sculpted to look like a rockface and requires the drinker to pinch the hold, in a similar way to holding a rock handhold on a crag or indoor climbing wall. So, overall I really like the Pinch Hold mug and would definitely recommend it as a gift for both new and experienced rock climbers alike.
