That does suck though. Take care of it now or it'll be months in the healing.

Lesson ^^ I learned the hard way as a bricklayer back before I even started climbing.

I'm lucky in that regard though. 8 years of handling brick and stone at work, combined with regular use of lotion has basically turned my hands in to very tough but supple leather.
I have never split a tip while climbing and it takes 4+ back to back days of gym climbing to make them sore. It's one of only a few benefits to a trade that otherwise wears your body down faster than pretty much any other.

Whats the typical style of route there? Vertical face climbing? there is every kind of route there. The climbing just requires you to find the right places to put your feet instead of climbing straight on. It's hard because most of the footholds on more moderate and harder routes are really small.
Ahhhhh. Yeah technical footwork does tend to blow your arms out quick.
Just about every route at my local spot falls in to that category so my endurance and recovery ability is usually way ahead of my power. Put me on an over hanging route and I can hang up there for awhile but the lockoff after lockoff kills me pretty quick.

It was really annoying, though. I split my middle tip and flapped the inside of my ring finger knuckle both in one slap.

Yeah, I've got some ClimbOn! bar coming in the mail tomorrow/today so that should help. It was really annoying, though. I split my middle tip and flapped the inside of my ring finger knuckle both in one slap.
Should of got the cream, then put in a bandaid and leave on over night full of cream. Best way Ive found for using Climb on!

Less grip .... more rhythm....

Hey guys, I split off the last couple hundred posts. Well, as much as I could get to reasonably maintain continuity. Hope this helps with the changes.

Might be a good idea if you deleted the part 2 one as well. We don't really need two threads...

Could you change the part above: Edited by Epoch to this:
This post was initially blank. It is now riddled with letters so the thread can be renamed in memory of Stymingersfink, who used this thread to post whore with the best of us. Anyone joining this thread should take the time to read some of his posts. I guarantee that you will learn something.
R.I.P. Daryn. You helped make this thread and you will be missed.
