Rock climbing finger 8 word winding

Climbing finger injury is most common when using Crimping grips. Crimping grips are methods used to climb small Edges or Crimpers, such as icons. There are two causes of injury: the intensity exceeds its own load, and the finger warm-up is insufficient. This kind of strain is usually a tendon between the palm and the first knuckle. Sometimes it is also between the first or second knuckle. The third knuckle pain is less likely to occur. Once the finger is injured, it will be injured later. Opportunities will increase greatly, and they will continue to ache.

The best way to warm up your fingers is to climb a simple route. If you can't warm up before the game, use a grip or Fingerboard instead. When a finger injury has already occurred, the only way to recover is to rest and not climb. However, it is not easy for the finger to recover. At least three months' rest is necessary. Of course, it is impossible for a climber to rest for three months, so there is a more effective adhesive tape method available.
