Crimpers! my hands are too small for slopers

Not too big a fan of crimps. Had tendon issues for awhile. I'll stick to slopys, big, solid open-gripped holds, and nice juicy pinches :lol:

Most of the time , sticking slopers is due to hand and body position, not necessarily hand size. Try to get your body as far beneath the slopey as possible. Hope this helps. :)

Thanks for the advice. Damn, I can't use small hands as my excuse anymore for why I can't stick slopers! :D

despite having a fairly good sized chunk of ring finger ripped out by a nasty crimp, i'd still have to say that they're my fav. pretty close, and slopers are definitely fun, but i think crimps still have my vote!

~pz all! rock on!
