Pitch Hold
About The Hold
These holds come in a usually darker color in sharper looking shapes, and are quite tough on the hands. When you grab hold of one of these, a "pain tolerance" meter will show up in the bottom left corner of your screen and will begin slowly depleting. If your pain tolerance depletes, you'll instantly let go of any holds you're holding onto currently and won't be able to grab anything for around two seconds, often leading to a catastrophic fall. Unlike crimp holds, chalk won't be of any use when it comes to these holds.
When it comes to recovering pain tolerance, you have two good options. Either make your way to a normal hold or a slippery hold, or anchor yourself in with crampons and let go of any holds. These will both rapidly replenish your pain tolerance meter. You can also halt (but not replenish) your pain tolerance by not holding anything or by holding onto a crimp hold.
These first appear on Eldenhorn.
