today jups taught me how to close hand crimp! been using open hand crimp all the way since i started climbing when a senior told me that it was less taxing on the fingers. Seldom had routes where I needed the extra strength from close hand.

But on sat couldn't use open hand on the 400 pt route in mock comp cos the tiles were too small! And didnt know how to close hand crimp properly also cos it hurt too much..ahhh stupid me after one yr then learn
