You might find some shallow slopers.. but i doubt you will find much for pinches with much bulk.. problem with screw ons is they tend to be really thin. Though you could take foot jibs and put them on either side of a corner and make a decent pinch out of it.

If you want to attach larger/regular bolt-on holds just use a 3/8" lag bolt or a hex bolt instead.

I was thinking the head of a lag bolt would be too big to secure the bolt all the way. HAve you done this before or just speculating?

Why not use a standard allen head bolt that comes with the holds, drill through the joist, and attach a tee nut or even a washer and nut? If you drill in the middle half of the joist there will be no loss of strength.

I've been on an artificial climbing tower that had the holds bolted on in this manner, so I know it works to some degree.

I've bolted on holds with #12 or #14 wood screws.

These are by far the best deal.

scroll down for the dual bolt-on screw-on slopers - these are big fat slopers for around $5 each.
