Sloper Grip
The Sloper Grip is a type of handhold commonly used in climbing and bouldering. It involves gripping a surface that is sloped or rounded, requiring climbers to rely on friction and body positioning rather than finger strength. This grip can be challenging, as it demands good balance and core stability.
In climbing, slopers are often found on holds made of materials like resin or rock. Climbers must engage their entire hand and use their palms to maintain contact with the hold. Mastering the sloper grip can enhance a climber's overall technique and performance on various routes and problems.
