You should probably KYS and never climb again. We’re full.

Jesus Christ. Stop. Your pulleys look like they are on the verge of tearing.

I've never seen pulleys so fucked up with skin so intact

just rest
one of the biggest things, especially for new climbers, is just not getting injured. So no back to back climbing days, probably no comically long sessions.
I have done those things. Do not do those things.
climbing is fun. it is not fun not being able to climb because you fucked your pulleys or your skin just burns at baseline

Take it easy, bro. Give yourself some time to recover, at least a week before you go again. Climbing is awesome, but take your time with it.

That's what everyone's first session is like. Just go back when it stops hurting(it was a week for me) and eventually you'll build up the stamina necessary for climbing.

Look at his hand, it's so evident I feel for the dude
If you don't see anything wrong with it, you never had a pulley injury

are you talking about how the knuckle looks depressed on his index finger (and middle, but less so)? i've never had a pulley injury but i would like to continue avoiding them
idk what else looks off to you, his skin doesnt look great but hes a new climber so about what i'd expect

He’s a retard. A pulley doesn’t tear through your skin. OP didn’t use chalk and his skin isn’t use to the resin.

Chalk up more. Have 1 day inbetween. You will get "pillows" on your fingers soon enough.
Your pulleys are fine. If you feel tingling just stop.
Also stop being such a pussy.

anyone assessing pulleys is a goofy little trolololo silly jester
you're being a bitch though just take a rest day after every climbing day and you'll adjust. Everyone goes through this and you will always have to manage skin as a climber

Stupid fucking nigger. Why did you feel the need to make this its own thread? Was /cg/ not enough for you? You just had to put your bitching on its own pedestal? Fucking leave and never return.

youre not gonna form callouses overnight, climb 1-2 times a week for a month or two until you can feel your skin getting stronger.
yes it will hurt, dont overdo it.

Use chalk and tape
Stop climbing before your skin breaks, it'll heal faster

Rest up. Your hands will become suitably calloused in time. With experience, you'll learn to rely less on your hands for climbing and more on your feet.
It's natural to cling on with your hands as a newbie, with practise you'll learn that your feet can support literally all of your bodyweight on the smallest of nubs - your hands are there often just to maintain posture by pinching protrusions on the wall (overhangs being an obvious exception.)

This. Just take longer rests between climbs. 1 day minimum. If your still sore, give it another day.
