Le terme «fissure à main» a été proposé par l'instructeur d'escalade et directeur général de l'école d'escalade l'Ascension Inc. 2, record 1, French, - fissure%20%C3%A0%20main
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le terme «fissure à main» ne précise pas la largeur de la fissure par rapport à la position de la main (main ouverte ou main en poing) comme le fait le terme anglais. L'escalade libre à l'aide des trous ou des fissures de rocher est beaucoup moins répandue en France qu'en Amérique du Nord à cause du type de montagnes. Cela pourrait expliquer pourquoi cette notion particulière, qui existe en anglais, n'a pas de terminologie exacte en français. On utilise plutôt une notion plus générique comme «fissures à coincements». 2, record 1, French, - fissure%20%C3%A0%20main
