i've been told (and agree) that crimping is far worse for your hands than open handing--a fact that i find to be terribly disappointing. i mean, really, isn't it just sorta magical how well crimping works?

It's certainly more likely you'd get hurt crimping then open handing but if you're warmed up enough and don't try something way too small for your ability level then if you can crimp it.. crimp it... open hand stuff comes in great for slopers and holds you can barely reach but to hold the small stuff there's nothing better than to stack that thumb and stick it :)
