Juggy

In bouldering, "Juggy" refers to holds that are large and easy to grip, making them ideal for beginners. These holds usually have deep curves or incuts where fingers can securely latch on. Climbers find juggy holds less strenuous, as they provide ample surface area for a firm grasp.

Examples

In bouldering, a climber encounters a "juggy" hold on an overhang route. The climber firmly grasps the large, easy-to-hold protrusion, feeling the secure grip it offers. On another problem, they find a series of juggy holds that make the ascent easier, providing rest points. When practicing endurance, climbers often start with juggy routes to build confidence and strength, appreciating how these holds require less finger strength and technique compared to smaller crimpy holds.
