phal Apr 2021 9:42am, 15 Apr 2021 3,360 posts	0 phal V'rap - I'm sanitising less this time. My hands were just wrecked last time and after the cold weather they weren't good before we went back in on Monday! I used it more when we did the top ropes, but for bouldering I did my hands when I went in and again when we left and that was it. I might do the same again later - depending on what we do - and my hands are so much better for it. And as long as I've done them when I get there and then don't suck my fingers or lick my hands..... mmmmmmmchallllllkkkkkkkkkyyyyyyyyy and they always have a bloody good wash after the leaving sanitiser spray.
Velociraptor Apr 2021 9:58am, 15 Apr 2021 52,218 posts	0 Velociraptor I'm quite prepared to go and wash my hands with soap and water between climbs. In fact, I probably will, since I once got contact dermatitis from liquid chalk residue on a lead rope so I assume the same might happen from other people leaving sanitiser residue on the holds.

PAJ89 Apr 2021 10:22pm, 15 Apr 2021 53 posts	0 PAJ89 I'm eagerly awaiting reopening of my local gym (still closed in Wales until early May). Started bouldering late 2019 and absolutely love it. Although ability to climb has been intermittent with lockdowns, it's helped me manage the last year or so (particularly when running wasn't going so well).
