i think the climbing holds at the gym are so unlike rock they suck and there heaps more unfriendly to your hands then rock. after climbing at the gym i have blisters and my skin starts to peel of my hands. how do you cope and look after your hands when you climb at the gym?

I would say that plastic is usually better on your hands than rock. Of course, there are many different types of rock , and therefore many different textures. When I climb on real rock, it us usually limestone, and very, very sharp and abrasive. plastic, however, dosen't give me any problems.

A flapper or two never hurt no-one. All I do afterwards is wash my hands with soap and water, and if they are particularly dry then I will put on some hand lotion. Yes, hand lotion.

Why so hostile ??? is it because you have trouble spelling your chosen profession ???
