About half of the holds are countersunk, its a real mixture. In my experience countersunk don't spin that much more...it depends mainly on hold design (ie. small contact area with wall, large distance between bolt and end of hold meaning hold acts like a lever, etc.)

All the holds were set using cordless impact drivers so limp wrists weren't a problem!!
