The ICT Metal Holds (competition steel holds) collection is an extremely durable, competitive, and specialized set of 20 steel holds for designing professional drytooling routes and competition climbs. These holds are made of very durable alloy steel and, thanks to their unmatched strength and exceptional shape variety (including circular bases, multi-pronged patterns, and various grooves), give route setters complete freedom to create challenging, diverse, and safe routes.

ICT Metal Holds are specially engineered to meet the heavy demands of professional drytooling competitions and training. Unlike ordinary holds, this set's hardened steel structure shows no deformation, corrosion, or wear against repeated impacts and leveraging pressure from sharp ice axe picks. The high geometric variety of this collection allows the route setter to simulate all kinds of pick engagement techniques on the wall, from precise point holds to horizontal and vertical grooves, hooking, and torquing.
