Ben10 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I've been working hard on my new grippers lately and i've closed the 1 and 1.5 and there's a number 2 on the way aswell Anyhoo i really feel like my grip has improved since i tested it out at climbing the other day. here's a little video the wedges are about 1 inch deep. thanks for watching Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griparn Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Very impressive campus boarding! But I doubt the grippers have much carryover for that kind of fingerstrength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twig Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Sweep on grippers will help, but wide pinch is where it's @ for climbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judoboy Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 nice work, keep at the grippers. pinch, thick bars/rope & towell stuff will defo carry over to climbing. thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAU1985 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Maybe talk to Chris Rice (climber11) for some tips on improving finger strength, I'm sure he has more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
