would love to see more skin care experiments. those comp style boulders with fiberglass holds are brutal.

I've been using just petroleum jelly for a few weeks now. Just put some on after a session or before bed. Zero skin problems since I started. I also have very dry skin generally.

Great advice Joshua! Human hands are really too delicate for climbing. Imagine having hands, feet and a tail, like monkeys that live in the forest canopy? How incredible would that be!

Apes do not have tails, monkeys do.

I recommend rhino split. It's like repair, but even stronger.

Their repair and massage cream are pretty good.

We have those Tsunami holds too, they take your skin right off! Interesting stuff, maybe I'll see if I can buy this stuff too!

I love flatholds, but damn do they hurt! Thanks for the vid

Tree climbing is better, you can use gloves😎 Btw, great video!

Dude, let me try that stuff on the rocks in Nevada, it's like lava rock, crazy! I'll send you the review. 😆

How does one remove this stuff from your hands? Wife wants to know when my fingers will be soft again for adult time... stuff feels horrible against sensitive skin if you know what I mean

Says soap and water. But didn’t work for me Took another day or two to flake off lol 😂

Idk about climbing or playing instruments but non foaming poly glues (like the clear gorilla glue) do great as far as grip, toughness, cheap, flexible, etc. They just take a while to cure. Sumo glue was great for it but it was discontinued.

Hanging belay is two cams and a nut. My anchor. Above me is a nut, a cam and a tricam placed passive.

Wonder if it is similar to liquid bandaid, it’s useful at the gym but I feel like it takes much longer to dry

When I was doing brick layering I had very hard fingers... 8 hours a day lifting bricks.. my colleague had fingers twice my size he was doing the job for 10 years..

So ive heard of people using super glue especially for the "splitters", like torn callous skin As a nurse it sounds super sketchy to me but i was hoping you were going to try that Obviously super glue can take days to come off skin and is pretty much only removable with natural skin turnover or abrasion lol so that's an obvious con

I hit my chest with a angle grinder. I cleaned the wound and used vet grade super glue to close it instead of stitches…it did the trick for awhile but opened during the healing and left a good scar.

Try the Liquid Bandage from Home Depot.

At what point do you decide to go to a different climbing gym that does not employ abusively abrasive holds?

Last year in Leavenworth I saw some super mutant boulderers spraying something all over their hands from an unlabeled spray bottle when back at camp. Never got a chance to ask what it was. But they were spraying it far away from their camp like it was some kind of chemical or something. I had the impression it was something for skin recovery. Any ideas what it was?

I live in Phoenix, Arizona. I can climb trad 20 minuets from my door. Weird question. What's the best bail out without losing gear? How do you get down from trad multi pitch with your lead unconscious three pieces up from a hanging belay?

Good questions! If there is a life on the line you lose the gear. Life>Money. Id definitely have to make a full video on that though. But sometimes it’s just time to call search and rescue.
