Holly crap Diggum, that's some nasty looking tips. You are a natural for crack climbing!

you should've seen what was under the tape. i totally agree with doing trad for a [rest]day in the middle of a bouldering trip.

I wish I would have taped my hands this weekend. I followed J.J. up one of his new S&M trad routes and I decided not to tape my hands. It was overhanging the whole way and NONE of the jams were any good. They went from flared fingers to flared offwidths... VERY PUMPY and sustained... one of the most physical routes I had climbed in a while. I couldn't imagine anybody climbing it for a rest day. It was considerably harder than Synchronicity and Windy Corner. Today my fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, and elbows are mangled with scrapes, scars, and scabs all over them... I flashed it though so it was definitely worth the effort. Next time I might tape up though.
