I was just checkin out the mad rock site and saw this crazy contraption called the finger. It is a rubber finger tip to supposedly give you better grip and protect the finger tips. check out the link. http://www.madrockshoes.com/html/other_stuff.html
so has anyone tried these things? do they work? If they do work well, I dont know how I feel about using them just so I can squeeze out that 5.11 . thoughts?

This may be a little off topic, but do the scientists who work for Mad Rock call themselves mad scientists? :lol:

I can see if you have raw fingers, but isn't this cheating?
Wait, I just thought of something else. If it is, chalk and shoes must be too. I guess it's all in how you descibe the word cheating.
