When I carefully went through several papers about climbing grip forces, to follow up on that paper referenced in the Purdue lecture notes, I don't think I noticed any mention of or references for such a study -- and I think I then would have been very interested to follow up on anything like that (but perhaps I somehow missed it) -- and I'm still interested now. I believe I own and have read thoroughly pretty near all the English-language books on climbing technique and training published in the last ten years, and I don't remember mention of any such studies. And while most of those books do recommend training the open grip as an alternative to the habit of crimping anything, I don't recall any suggestion that climbers could prevent almost all pulley injuries simply by avoiding crimping.
