So right now I am the proud owner of the most bomber skin i have ever had in the past 21 years of climbing. No pain, no thin skin, just bullet proof skin that can take a beating, heel quick and be ready for the next day.

What do you do for hand care. what do you have in you bag of tricks.

Here is what I do. Aveda foot renew cream at night. Smells nice, renews skin faster than anything else i have tried. Sand my ski before multiple day rests. Sand it real low. Apply antihydral after sanding. Wash AH off and moisturize the hell out of the hands.

If i really am getting crazy i get a harsh soap or degreaser (i work in kitchens so doing dishes basically does it)the morning before climbing.

What do you have in your kit. Favorite lotion. way to keep your hands dry. etc..
