Crimp Hold
About The Hold
Usually looking like a smaller normal hold, crimp holds require much more demanding finger strength to hold onto. As a result, crimp holds can only be held onto for a short period of time. Each hand has it's own "crimping stamina" which drains as you hold onto a crimp hold. Some crimp holds drain your stamina faster than others, and your stamina drains faster if you're only holding onto the mountain with one hand. When not holding a crimp hold, a hand's crimping stamina will gradually replenish over time. Grabbing a regular hold will instantly replenish a hand's crimping stamina.
Your best course of action is making it to another hold as soon as possible. Using chalk will nullify the stamina draining effects of crimp holds, so make sure you pack plenty. Each hand will last 4 seconds on a crimp hold. And two hands will last 6⅔ seconds.
