I don't see how you can properly bear down on a hold using an open hand grip.
Check the Beardown Misericorde vid - I can assure you Ben is pulling fuckin hard, even if it doesn't look like it. Subtle power is where its at.
I hate crimping. I never crimp

Crimping is for showboaters,
There was a problem I was trying at the weekend on a 45 degree prow, where you had to crimp the hold otherwise it would have been far too difficult to hold for any length of time. I'm sure there are many others like this...
