Crack climber extraordinaire Pete Whittaker and the crack climbing company Wideboyz have very kindly given Beyond the Edge a set of their new Master Jam Crack Gloves. These will be available try out and use on our Rock Climbing Courses.
Wideboyz Master Jam Crack Glove in Green Gut at Froggatt Edge
Traditionally climbers would tape up their hands for protection when climbing long and difficult jamming cracks and climbs. The invention of crack gloves makes the whole process of covering the backs of your hands much easier and consequently they are becoming widely adopted by the climbing community.
I’ve had a quick play and they definitely inspire confidence in those painful jams. I’ll be using the Master Jams over the next few weeks and writing a full review.
In the meantime book a course and get jamming! We offer a variety of climbing courses to suit most levels of skill and ambition.
