The higher functioning part of my brain is scoffing at these, but the painful red holes at the ends of my fingers are making those finger condoms look pretty appealing. (I spend the weekend slapping and sliding off sandstone slopers in southern Illinois, so typing is a bit painful right now). I wonder about fit issues, and at 6 quid for a pack of 3 (?!?) that's about us$3.30 each.

You're probably right. Climbing equipment evolves and there's no stopping progress. I might try them if my tips were blown, but wanted to continue bouldering. I certainly wouldn't claim to complete a problem using them though.
