Ya also just take care in how you handle holds, make more deliberate slower grabs for holds so you aren’t relying on contact friction so much. Eventually skin toughens up. Also sand off your callouses they become weak spots for flappers once they get too big.
As for climbing communities I haven’t looked yet but I should!
I've found that I've progressively stated making better grabs as I've been training - I'll keep your advise in mind.
Atm. I'm not even starting building up callouses. I'm considering maybe taking a week's break to rest my hands - but I'm feeling like I'll regress if I do this.
Probably I'm going to do "chin ups" on the wall to get better upper body / arm strength. Often when I'm struggling, I seem to get the most torn up hands.
I appreciate your advise!
