So I finally wore through the fingertips of my Petzl Cordex gloves this spring season and was hoping to get some opinions from y'all. What's your favorite wall glove? Ideally you have recommendations for full finger and fingerless gloves (I have wimpy fingertips that are fully raw after one day). Thanks!

I just get leather gloves from the hardware store, cut holes in them about where your second knuckle is on each finger. Go small, the leather will stretch, then you can pop your fingers out if you need fingerless and the backs of your fingers are protected so you won’t bang your knuckles up.

Nitrile dipped gloves for cleaning. They don’t last a super long time, but they’re sensitive, protect your whole hand and finger tips, and cheaper than leather gloves.


For leading just use hand Jammie’s -> ocun, g7, whatever.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
