They are always the same. Go white for a minute or so then piss blood for hours! Great picking the scabs though  :roll:

more often than not Strawberries, from which i have collected multiple knuckle (and on occasions wrist) scuffers.

Still makes doing the washing up when you get home entertaining.... :boz:

Imagine you weigh 12+ stone (i know its difficult, but please try, or give a friend a piggyback) and are weak. then take the top of the T in both hands and then repeatedly footless slap the dish thing very very hard and grind around on it for a while before falling off. That should do the trick.

I very rarely wear skin down, in fact i consider myself well off if my skin wears down. What generally happens is that little sharp crystals and skin just make tears in the skin.

did quite well doing 6 days on in font and skin only split at the edn after beign dried up wid chalk.

i always knock flappers off my knuckles, loads more than split tips. WSS just gives me a permanent blood blister from squeezing that pebble sooooooo hard, as I try (and fail  :cry: ) to sort my feet out...

Ha, yeah, my skin has no feeling it in at all in the bit you hold the pebble with. Think the nerve cells have been permanently damamged  :roll:

same here, still got the scabs.
worst one i've had so far is from soft on the G, just getting my left foot on the front and right hand came out the side pull, leaving big flaps of skin dangling off the back of my knuckles and blood pissing everywhere. Scabs are still pretty big now a week later

alrighty then:
RH in sidepull, LH over good bit on arete (fingers pointing right)
RF in bottom R of pocket, pull on and Left foot on hold round LHS of arete.
Powerful slap with LH higher up on arete with hand turned t'other way (fingers pointing left), awkwardly bring left foot onto front face and sort of toe the arete on the good bit, adjust and slap for the top with right (I will point out that I have fallen off this last easyish move twice and am waiting for my knuckles to heal before going back to tick this mofo)

ah right - me and a mate did it this way, i think you'll need to be not short:

start stood to the right of the arete RH in crack, LH on good bit of arete as a normal layaway. then jump your left foot up onto the best foothold on the arete which is at about shoulder level :shock: . pull very hard with RH to get right toe to pull on somwhere beneath the right hand in the crack/smear in an attempt to let you go up with RH with less of a barndoor. RF probably won't stick all the way but does the job.
