The Basic Ledge has evolved out of the foundations set by the Basic Jugs range. We still have tried to hide the individual shape of each hold so that the climber will struggle to tell them apart.

More work has been put into the shaping of each macro hold than the other Basics but still the majority of the work and technical engineering is in the rest of these macro holds. This part creates no edge where the macro joins the climbing wall, so the climber is forced to use the part of the hold that the route setters want to insist the climber has to.
