Skin's been mentioned a few times here, which surprised me.
My skin is usually terrible - it's so soft that I can barely get through a day of bouldering on grit, in any conditions, without the tips becoming super thin, and it takes a lot of attention to not ruin it for future days. Recovery is also nothing special, so I can't afford to wear it down much if I hope to climb the next day.
However, last time I was in font, I climbed for 9/10 days straight, sometimes morning and evenings, and that was in August/September, so very sweaty. By the end of it, my skin was a bit worse for wear, but it only started to change in the last day or so. I don't climb any big grades, but I'm pretty over-ambitious so spend a lot of time falling off stuff, which is where lots of wear comes from. This led me to believe that the rock in font is extremely forgiving on the tips - i'm pretty sure there's an Ondra quote about coming back from font with better skin than when he arrived!?
Does this hold any truth for other people? Does the skin advice refer specifically to avoiding spending too long on sharp ratty crimps - because if it refers to slopers/most holds, I'm struggling to understand it myself :-\
