In this video, Lattice coaches Jen and Billy dive deep into (almost) EVERY climbing grip type. We break down the data, science, and practical applications behind every major handhold grip position. Whether you are wondering about half crimp vs full crimp, looking to improve your sloper training, or trying to understand how to safely train pocket and mono strength without blowing up your lumbricals, we have you covered. We rank each grip across three critical metrics: 👉 Transferability (How well it applies to real rock and commercial gyms) 👉 Trainability (How easy and effective it is to target on a hangboard or system board) 👉 Injury Risk (The safety profile and how to mitigate finger injuries) Chapters: 00:00 - Yo 00:18 - Half Crimp 05:12 - Open Hand/Drag 10:38 - Sloper 15:43 - Full Crimp (eek!) 21:57 - Pinch 27:05 - Undercut 31:14 - Pockets & Monos 36:03 - Guppies, Volumes, Thumb Spraggs (what...)
