I often come across these terms in relation to the size of holds in write-ups from American boulderers e.g. http://island.io/p3IdaHrj description of Lucid Dreaming by Daniel Woods.
Does "pad" simply mean 1 inch?

Pad....of your finger. As in 'finger-pad'.

In reply to Fraser: quarter pad sounds really sinister now! thanks for the explanation

Yep, below 'quarter pad' you're into 'matchstick' descriptive territory!

Not positive, well, not large at least.

Average of 6.5625mm by my measure. Bigger than the smallest Moonboard crimps, but not as big as the bottom rung crimps which are 8mm.

So practically jugs...

Is that for 1/4 pad? The small campus rungs are for weaklings - you should be on the FATTEST ones, like me!

I was going to say 6mm's fine if you're tooling....but I see that thread's been pulled. ~8-o


< I didn't say that - I never talk about pulled threads >
