 I am relatively new to the sport, but I tend to push myself pretty hard. Last night I was climbing a 5.9 at and indoor wall that was composed of mostly 2 finger holds. I made a few strenuous movements and I noticed when I got off the wall that I had a lot of pain in the palm of my right hand. I think I may have injured (minorly) a tendon connected to my ring finger. It hurt pretty bad when I woke up this morning so I taped it to my middle finger in a way that they were both forced to stay bent and I was less likely to use them.
I guess my question is, are there any spacific taping methods I should use? I have a climb scheduled for tomorrow. Should I sit it out and let this heal or can I tape it up and let it ride?
I have a feeling this will be a common injury, any input would be appreciated.

Let it rest. Ice it often. Take anti-inflammatories. Drink lots of water.
I know it sucks. I'm sitting the weekend out myself.

It felt pretty good today I taped it up and went out. The tape lasted through my first climb then I ripped it off and kept climing. Overall it was a great day. A little sore, but it feels better than before the climb.
