Gordonb Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I think massage would help your climbing. The masusses that I know have very strong hands. I would think that it would help you hang from the smallest nubbins of smiffy tuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carpal tunnel goes under Mercer Island on I-90, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I got a massage by a climber chick a few times, she said she couldn't really climb cracks very hard anymore with out worrying about getting big gobbies on her hands and scaring her clients that she might be a lepper or something. She mainly climbed in the gym anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg_W Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Tape will fix that. An added bonus: if your tips are roughed up they get a looffa treatment at the same time!!! Bye bye dead skin!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonb Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Just make sure you tape well. That should take care of most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I met a couple who were both climbers and physical therapists. They were big on crack climbing too. They just tape up really well and use lotion afterwards. They told me that good technique is the most important thing in avoiding gobies.
