texplorer Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I generally agree that good technique saves your hands. Of course when pushing your limits your form usually begins to wane. I guess the ultimate is to be able to climb hard enough so that your HANDS never get chewed up. Fingers on the otherhand are quite different. All climbers I know that climb the harder grades (5.12+) tape at least their fingers in some form or another at times. I even saw the rockstar Potter and his rockstar wife both taped up at the Creek this last spring. There is a macho thing on CC.com which I am a proponent member of, which will ridicule you for using tape but in reality I too tape in certain situations. If tape is aid then so are sticky rubber, chalk, compasses, watches, altimeters, and for that matter any kind of pro. Note: I will disavow any knowledge of this post if you try to bring it up again in this or any other post. -back to spraying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szyjakowski Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Texplorer-You're right all those things are aid. if you want to "Free climb" somethin you gotta be ropeless and naked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On others, it may be distributed along a mean tending towards a woolly mammoth, or, sadly, not at all. Given my luck, many are persuaded to think I must be using some form of "gel". Not so, I say! Simply good design. My hair follicles leak Aveda Styling Gel. True. Really. - J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
