Cases would be, as mentioned, crack climbing or open wounds. Well, open wounds would be best to let them heal first of course but if you are on a trip you might consider it worth taping to be able to continue climbing for the trip.
Don't tape because your finger joints hurt or your skin. Only do so if you come back from an injury i suppose. But I really have not much knowledge about it. So yea you should know what you are doing I guess. If your joints hurt, learn to climb more open-handed, and/or even tho it sucks, climb a bit less.
If your skin hurts. Learn to deal with it. Get a good handcreme for use afterwards/at night. But if you tape, how's your skin going to adapt to it?
In 2 weeks I'm going bouldering in fontainebleau, france. Can't wait. My childhood playground, any spot in particular planned?
Well, I don't know :D A friend just told me that they have a place in the car and asked if I want to come. So I don't have much information.

Well, Bleau.info for topo, pict and other info. Remember that Magnesium is banned, it destroys the rock: http://bleau.info/cleanup/magnesium.html
Rocks dries fast, so even if it's rainy, usually ready for climbing about 2 hour after the rain.
spots to see: L'elephant, Diplodocus, Mer des Sables (Cul de Chien)
Coquibus has big caves (600m^2 for the biggest I think)
Bas-Cuviers and franchard are huge (video in youtube of someone running and jumping from rock to rock during 50 minutes without touching the ground once)
So thousands of boulders with well marked topos for every level of climbers. Just a little warning about the difficulty rating, because climbing there is so different, you should look for 1 or 2 rating lower compared to indoor.
Have a nice trip!

Has anyone here been afraid of heights before starting climbing?
|
I'm afraid of heights. I almost shat my pants the first time I climb up to the top of the wall (sport climbing).
Now I stick to bouldering lol
|
I'm not totally fearless to heights for sure. I am really a pussy when it comes to jumping from rock to rock, even if it's like 50 cm. But never scared while climbing.

Back to business, next saturday, they'll have a competition in the climbing arena, this means all old problems will be taken down and we'll get a room full of fresh challenges, so awesome :D!!

what format are the competitions you guys were in?

Hey! I climb! Not very often, but maybe once or twice a month at K2, Telefonplan, Stockholm. Used to climb more often at KS Solna, but since they rebuilt the place I just can't stand it.

We should meet up sometime :D I only climb at those places, and I agree Solna has become pretty shitty, but Telefonplan is so far away for me
