The Squid Is Wonderful
By: David on 4 February 2026The Squid is wonderful. There are so many ways to hold this thing, so it’s difficult to describe, other than to say it’s large, grippy and comfortable. It’s most positive areas make it easy on the 0 wall, and I’m not sure how it’ll go on the 5 wall, but I’m interested to find out. It’s a playful shape that’s been a wonderful addition to the wall. I highly recommend.,

Always interesting
By: David on 23 July 2023The Squid is wonderful. There are so many ways to hold this thing, so it’s difficult to describe, other than to say it’s large, grippy and comfortable. It’s most positive areas make it easy on the 90° wall, and I’m not sure how it’ll go on the 35° wall, but I’m interested to find out. It’s a playful shape that’s been a wonderful addition to the wall. I highly recommend.
