What are most common grip types at Gramps/Araps? 2-Jul-2017 At 12:12:55 PM jacksonclimbs

So relatively new to Victoria and currently doing a bit of hangboard and bouldering training. Typically in the past I've prioritized grip type in training depending on the location I'm climbing at. Just wondering what locals think are the grip types most commonly encountered.

So far I've come across a lot more slopers at the Gramps than what I've seen at limestone style crags I've climbed at before. Conversely, I've not seen a whole lot of two finger pockets at the Gramps.

If I had to hazard a guess at the most common grips, based on my limited experience, I'd think, in order of most common to least common;

Edges
Crimps
Slopers
Pinches
Pockets

Keen to hear others thoughts on most commonly encountered grip types at these locations.
