i get a lot of calluses from weight lifting and unfortunately they always tear off and flap about when i climb leaving sore bits. any ways to help these heal or prevent getting calluses?? i currenly just tape them up and carry on

cheers

use a nail file to sand them down - works for me

I found a nice hand sized bit of God's own grit (on the approach to Wimberry) and have been using that to great effect!
Usefull for keeping your skin in decent condition when your injured and not climbing!

1)stop doing weights, you'll end up looking like nadiras n who wants that
2)stop using hand sized holds n love the crimp

i used to do weights n had this problem so i stopped, n my elbows can breathe again as well

can you not get those little gay-style leather gloves for doing weights with to avoid that kinda thing?

[perugolate]

good idea - never thought of that.

Cheers
