If you had to climb on a hard route and all you had was one type of hold, what kind would you have. Dont use the cough out answer of JUGS!!! I mean slopers crimps, sidepulls, pockets, huecos, flakes things like that, and why are you good at that type of hold, why do you like them??

Well actually, since you ask on a hard route, I COULD say jugs, but the route would have to be quite steep.

I absolutley love the crimps, well.... crimps with lips on them (of course everyone loves those kind of crimps) but hey, if it's way small I clip off of it at a sketchy part, then I am the most happy with myself.

i'd have to go with crimps as well.
some of my most memorable redpoints have involved difficult crimp moves or sequences.
as to why? who really knows - i'm not sure that i'm necessarily better at them, i just like them and find them challenging.
pockets are a close second though.
