Aye, it's dirty plastic/wood climbing that does it usually. Sanding below the joint seem the best way to combat it.

from crimping angular shit on me woody

I concur with the origin of this injury as bieng largely board related. As one of the biggest board whores here I regularly get this after a particularly virulent session (Good word - virulent. Out of context, but good).

As regards the treatment of such an irritating injury, I reckon keeping it soft is the key. Apply climb on and keep it covered in the day, let it breathe at night.

did this prob at burb south few yrs ago from standin. nice. but stil rate the left arete of gully directly behind as a move of genius. am quite embarrased about doin that traverse now, as just seen how imposin the view is an i was scrabbling around in the shadow  
while we're on subject can't ever remember splittin a tip, sure i must have tho. i have seen sum horrific hands after dicing wi that groove/crack b6 prob at burb south, right of talk to me martin.

What did you reckon it was from standing? V6? Did you try the full problem? Tricky ey!

That B6 has my favourite move anywhere on it. I love it. Ive got it so wired that i can do it in trainners. Much to the annoyence of a lot of people, as for some reason it seems to throw people  :

I ripped a hole in my finger bouldering in Ailefroide. Doing a side-ways dyno from crimp with razor sharp edge, I caught the other hold but my right hand slipped and bled  :evil:

Huge flapper on my right index finger today on Rollerwall at Burbage South. F*** F*** F***!!!!!!

[lleyton]

Poor Michael was suffering a strange skin affliction back then. An allergic reaction so not really a flapper in the climbing sense.
