PRODUCTS TO CARE FOR YOUR SKIN

Endurance training is hard on the skin! We’ve got the products you need to care for your skin so you can keep climbing.

Finger File (Pair) Finger File (Pair)
Finger File (Pair)
$22.00

Our Finger File was designed and shaped with a climber’s hands in mind - specifically built to make skin maintenance easier.

It’s lightweight and ergonomic in design, handcrafted in solid wood and features a long lasting grit sanding surface. The wide flat area allows for easy sanding of bigger callouses. The smaller edges make quick work of pad callouses and can even get into the smallest of creases, where those annoying splits like to hide. The smooth wood on the interior means those tips not being worked on don’t have to deal with any painful accidental sanding.

Medium Grit is suggested for drier skin and most maintenance. Fine Grit is suggested for wetter skin and fine tuning.

Pair includes 1 Medium Grit + 1 Fine Grit.

Circuit Tape Circuit Tape Circuit Tape
Circuit Tape
from $5.00

Designed with skin preservation in mind, Circuit Tape is a breathable, cohesive tape that sticks to itself rather than you, so it works perfectly for chalky, sweaty sessions and won’t leave your skin soft and damp. Comes in a 2 roll pack and a 5 roll pack.

  • Stays put on chalky, sweaty hands. Perspiration does not reduce the cohesive bond.

  • Pre-tape to save skin, and it’s breathable so it won’t soften your tips.

  • Each roll is precut to 1/2” wide and contains 10 yds of tape.

  • Perfect size for carrying on route.

  • Comes in a reusable container to keep it clean.
