Use lots of tape. Reuse your gloves each time and add more tape at the wrist.

No need for tape most of the time, just gets in the way. Gloves esp. are teh suck. When I tape, I usually try to keep it at no more the one or two layers of tape. One strip starts on plam side at the thumb, wrap it around to the back, near the knuckles. Then two wraps around the and, with a couple wraps at the wrist to keep it one. But, really, unless it is super rough and off sized, I just go without.

Ynot's still wearing his first tape gloves. It's true.
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Yeah I follow Tommy Caldwells taping method, and I keep re-using them each time I crack climb...kinda cool when over a year you have tape gloves thick enough to make wide fists become hands....although this is also the point I usually just pitch em and start over.
