I'd agree. The open hand or crimp is down to the climber as much as the hold.
Crimping IS stronger, as you utilise the strongest digit: the thumb.
Thumb is a swear word at our wall... right Mini?Stricktly no thumbs on slopers. (unless, like me you can hide your dirty habit and crimp slopers without your mates seeing! )
'Two groups of people crimp:beginners—because it feelsstronger—and those who nevergrew out of it.'
As somebody who crimps all the time who am I to argue
i'd love to see one of these prophets of openhanding tackle, without crimping, things like caviar, pump up the power, walk on by, mur de lamentations, bain de sang etc etc etc.
