Well, you haven't actually said whether you get that pain before or after you warm up.. Do you jump on routes where you're forced to close-crimp before you're properly warmed up? If so, I recommend you warm up your finger by doing easy, open-handed climbing. LIke hanging on jugs etc. Then slowly start close-crimping stuff, but only when you don't feel pain. Basically, get enough blood flow to your fingers by warming up so that it doesn't hurt at all when you close-crimp. If it still hurts, then it's probably an injury. And injuries suck. I know this because I spend maybe 3 - 4 months a year, every year, injured. There's an interesting article on planetfear.com about warming up your fingers too. Hope that helps. dom
