Finger tips

Has any one tried that antihydril (not sure of spelling) stuff? Kills, dries out and toughens the skin where applied. Just don't apply it to any thing that you wnt to still be able to bend. Popular in Germany apparently. Sounds like botox for climbers... keep those tips youthful.

Your tips are moving on holds when loaded. So you're slapping at things, or slipping around on things. Meaning you're on harder routes. Take zee holds wiz mo care.

Hey Adam, what sort of chalk are you using? Most of the modern chalks have extra drying agents in them which can cause dermatitis. You need to wash your hands after climbing and use moisturiser after every session. Very metrosexual, I know, but the modern man has to look after himself( the girls already do!)
Re: sanding. Yes, you should definitely sand all the callouses and rough spots down frequently, then the skin grows back more rapidly and evenly. Climbing at your limit always involves slapping, scraping and sliding around: skin loss is inevitable. Take general pain killers to lessen the distraction of the pain from bruising etc

I wee on my fingers all the time, sometimes even on my pants. But both of them keep wearing through quickly ... must have weird wee ...

Just a question on using super glue for flappers. Does this really sting or is it OK?

There is surgical super glue for closing wounds. It's close to but not the same as commercial super glue.

...or just find climbs with less hideous crimps! (My fingers have still not recovered after a dogging session on Adam's project on saturday)

I met a climber in Nowra who uses ' Nipple Cream ' on his finger tips. He seemed to be a very good climber, so maybe you could give that a go.

Here's an idea you could try. I used this today when climbing and it seemed quite effective protection for a small cut on my finger tip. And I applyed it to other fingers also just to try it. The merchandise I used is "Spray Bandage" . Made by Elastoplast. I baught it from the super-market (near band aids) .It comes in a little pressure pack can and you spray this stuff on like paint, but it's clear. 'Didn't effect friction and the small cut had no bothers. I think it cost about $10.00. Probably worth a try anyway. I'd also recommend that eating lots of honey (as in 500ml / week) might help healthy skin growth and repair, unless you're allergic to honey. But proper nutrition is allways something to consider anyway. Remember - " those who eat thier 'vegies with the skin, allways have the will to win ".
