Anyone got anything to say about Rhino performance? My tips are in a sorry state, and I'm not sure if it's dryness, getting too thick and then chunking off or what.Tried rhino performance a bit in Canada but I can't say I noticed much.

I also like Performance as a weaker alternative.
Not naturally dry, and not overly sweaty either, just seems to wear through very fast, get very thin and then I get a little hole on the tip or split.

I never thought I had particularly moist skin before using it, but now realise just how much better harder dry skin is for most climbing. Using antihydral, I think splits occur at about the same rate in winter, less in summer, and wearing through due to repeated abrasion takes a little longer at any time of year. On small holds I find my skin feels more solid as well, like there's less roll. Some people don't get on well with it but it's probably worth a try. I use standard antihydral once per week, perhaps upping it in summer to every 4 or 5 days. I try to apply it 2 nights before I climb.It's also worth considering pre-taping tips for any particularly rough/sharp holds and only taking off the tape for proper redpoint attempts if needed.
