Crimping vs Open hand	19-Sep-2013 At 9:22:04 PM	snowkiwi

I seem to remember Eric Horst explaining it pretty well (probably) in his Training for Climbing book. His argument was to use open hand for _training_ to strengthen the grip and protect the tendons. He didn't say not to use the crimp though - just to use the crimp when you really need it when sending hard routes and not repeatedly when training. Of course I should probably go back and read it again to make sure I'm not completely making that all up, but I've got no idea where my old copy of that book is :(
