I think I have it in both arms.
I've bouldered 8a+ in the last year.
Extremely small sign of Dupuytren in left hand.
Don't know if stronger on slopers or crimps.
Have been training for my whole life, climbing specifically since 1993.
Cheers.

Present on both arms
ATM - Boulder 7A, Trad E4, Sport 7b+
in the past - B = 7b+, Trad E6/7, Sport 7c+
Fairly sure I've got a Dups starting on the left palm below middle finger, Tender lump. No noticeable curling, but cant extend back as far as I used to be able. has appeared in the last 6 months (I presumed following a nasty pulley snap on on that finger about 1 year prior)
Fairly average on slopers and crimps TBH. I don't think I excel on one over the other.
Age 43, been climbing on and off for 26 years

Pretty sure I have the tendon in both arms. Mild Dups in both hands, just nodules. Have bouldered 8A, prefer slopers.

Age might be useful for Dups onset? I'm 38.

Believe I have it in both.
30 now, climbed for ~10 years
Font 7b, prefer crimps
Nodules in both hand, not sure if Dupuytrens (though my grandfather had it) as don't seem to be on the line of the tendon and the LH one has 'disappeared' following skewering my hand on a rain worn limestone fin and a couple of days of it weeping profusely (new cure?).

Palermis Longus tendon present in both arms.
As far as I can tell no Dupuytrens
Font 7C on a good day. Projected up to 8A.
Love the sloper. Considerably stronger on a sloper or pinch compared to a crimp.

Well just to be awkward (or idiotic) I'm not sure if I have it or not. There's a raised tendon when I do the test, but it's distinctly to the thumb side of central, and seems to connect to the base of the thumb. Any thoughts?
Same for me. Judging by this

you should see 2 close together if you have the Palermis Longus tendon, like the guy in the youtube vid.

I don't have it
No sign of duyptrens
Sport 8a, font 7C if I'm going well
OK on slopers

I've got ithe tendon in both arms.
Dupuytrens like nodule present on right.
Poor on slopers, much prefer crimps (with a background of crimping practice)
Font 7b+ 7a+ in the last year

I have the tendon in both arms (though more prominent in the right). No sign at all of Dupuytrens - I'm 52 and have been climbing nearly 40 years. Have climbed 8a/E8/7C+. If I have a strength its probably crimps.

Duma - it sounds like you might be seeing your flexor carpi radialis, but difficult to say without seeing it. Thanks for all the replies :)

Having just seen Mark20's pic I dont have it so you may want to adjust my answer further up... may explain why I'm so bad on slopers...

Thanks Mark, in that case:

No PL in either arm
One dp nodule in left palm
Climbing 20 yrs
38 yrs old
7C+ bloc, 8a sport
Worse on slopers than crimps, but I have a dodgy left wrist that limits me on slopers so may be unrelated to PL presence/absence

I seem to have it on the right hand and not the left.

Bouldering up to 7c+/8a

Don't I have DC but looking at my left hand the tendon going to the little finger is a bit more pronounced and you can feel it under the skin a lot more prominently than with the other hand.

Traditionally better on crimps, but then I did start bouldering seriously at the Eldon Square bendcrete wall. Deffo stronger crimped on left hand and have been for about 10 years.

That's interesting. when the survey popped in the other channel i wrote

I have it in the right arm only. (...) The interesting thing which i'm wondering now if it could possibly be related and i could never figure out why, is that i'm way stronger with my left hand on crimps/half crimps

My little finger tendon on the left is also more prominent (and i seem to carrying a long running injury in that vicinity which flared up badly 2 days ago  :furious: )

Not that many asymetrical weirdos answering the survey to see if there's a pattern there though.

Tendon present in both arms.
Consider myself decent on slopers, quite like them. Strong on crimps.
Significant Dupuytrens on right hand ring and pinky tendon (2 large lumps on pinky, 1 on ring)
Minor Dupuytrens on left hand pinky tendon.
F8b, E7 (headpoint Fiend, I can sense your bristling from here :) ), don't boulder but Font7C in past.
Climbing 15-20ish years
