Rupert, try open handing holds rather than crimping and pinch the underside of the holds with your thumbs, which you can usually do with plastic holds whilst training. The best training for climbing is climbing. The best way to improve pinch grip strength... Squash balls and other squeezing training tools might give you a pump, but aren't effective climbing training tools. They rely on isotonic muscle contractions (where the muscle shortens) where as hands in climbing utilize isometric contractions (where no shortening of the muscle occurs). Cheers Martin
