Finger tape provides structural support to reduce strain on tendons and pulleys while protecting vulnerable skin from tears or blisters. It stabilises joints during intense sessions and acts as a barrier on raw areas, allowing climbers to continue training without aggravating injuries. 

For knuckle support, wrap tape above the joint in a figure-8 pattern. For blisters, cover the fingertip and secure with a second piece around the finger. Always tape downward to avoid restricting movement and remove loose ends. 

While tape supports weakened pulleys and protects skin, it’s not a cure-all. Overuse may delay natural toughening. Combine taping with proper rest and technique to minimise long-term damage. 

Hand exercisers like grip strengtheners or hangboards target finger flexors, building endurance and max strength. Low-intensity holds (e.g., 10-minute hangs) boost grip as effectively as heavy loads, with lower injury risk. 

Limit intense sessions (e.g., weighted hangs) to 2-3x weekly. Prioritise rest days to prevent pulley strains. Low-intensity holds can be done more frequently.
