Improve Your Crimps with Shauna Coxsey

In this weeks video, ‪@ShaunaCoxseyClimber‬ and Hannah Morris talk all things finger strength and crimp technique on at the newly opened ‪@theclimbinghangaruk‬ in Reading

The ability to use small crimp holds is part and parcel of good overall climbing technique. Crimping on small edges is something a lot of climbers love, and a lot hate. Small incut edges and flakes require a lot of finger strength, technique and good body positioning and can be tricky to master. In this video, Hannah and Shauna cover everything you need to know to crimp your way up the wall, from the basics of grip types for crimping and a masterclass in body positioning to work through crimpy problems with maximum effectiveness and efficiency.
