Crimp Grip
Crimp Grip is a specific handhold used in rock climbing and bouldering. It involves gripping a small edge or hold with the fingertips while the thumb presses down on top, creating a strong pinch. This technique allows climbers to maximize their grip strength and maintain control on challenging routes.
Using a crimp grip effectively requires proper finger strength and technique. Climbers often train their fingers and hands to improve their ability to hold onto small edges. Overuse or improper technique can lead to injuries, so it's essential to balance training with adequate rest and recovery.
