Hopefully your skin isn’t the reason you’re ending your session early… because finger skin care actually matters 👀

Here’s what’s always in my climbing bag lately in my @megabetaclimbing bag

• nail clippers
• a file
• liquid bandage for splits
• bandaids
• the electric file by @flapstopper for sanding down flappers before they become a full disaster (use code mountainmarie10 for 10% off)
• @rhinoskinsolutions Repair cream for post-session recovery

Good skin can literally be the difference between one more burn or hiking back to the car defeated with throbbing tips 🫠

Taking care of your skin helps keep calluses smooth, prevents splits, and makes recovery way faster between sessions. Especially on sharp granite days.

Watch @kizzy.smithh tackle the callus buildup that comes with high-volume training. The reality? Manual files lack the power and consistency needed for effective callus management - especially for athletes training multiple times per week.
Flapstopper’s electric technology removes built-up calluses efficiently and evenly, preventing the tears and flappers that sideline climbers. Not surface-level filing - real results.

This is what it looks like in practice.

@mountmarie keeping her skin dialed between sessions. Controlled removal. No guesswork.

Your skin is the only gear that doesn’t have a backup.

Back to Ramirole. 🇫🇷🧗‍♂️
Four years ago, on my way back from Italy, I set out to try Spanish Caravan (8c), but I couldn’t even find the trail to the crag.
This year, straight back to Ramirole, with @francisco.pires.12345678 as my climbing partner.
What a king line! 🔥
60 metres of climbing, pure endurance, and the determination to make sure I wouldn’t leave without ticking this one off - among other ones.
And to top it all off, a truly fanatical crew came together… it honestly felt like being in a movie! 🎬
But I’ll save that crew for the next post. 😉
After three years of travelling less, what better way to kick off a new year of trips?

Shoes get resoled. Ropes get checked. Skin needs maintenance too.

Flapstopper is built to smooth raised callus edges before they catch, lift and tear.

Keep the callus. Lose the edge. by @flapstopper

The project’s hard enough already.

Your skin shouldn’t have to make things harder.

Smooth the rough edges before they become a problem.

Keep your skin comfortable and ready for the next attempt.

Prepare your skin before your next project day—smooth the rough edges now, so you’re ready to climb when it matters. by @flapstopper

Nobody’s session ends because they ran out of strength.

Climbers train grip, power and endurance with real intent, then leave the one variable that actually ends sessions entirely unmanaged.

Skin is the only piece of equipment you cannot replace mid-session. It deserves the same attention as everything else you rely on. by @flapstopper

Every climber knows the moment.
Nothing felt wrong on the hold, and then half your finger is hanging off.
It’s almost never the callus that failed.
It’s the edge of it — the raised rim where thick skin meets thin, that lifts and peels the fresh skin under it.
Callus is protection.

Keep it.
Just keep it flat. by @flapstopper

Small edge. Big difference.

Nine speed settings, three grits, and a head shaped to sit flat against your palm. Built for maintaining climbing skin — levelling calluses before they turn into flappers, not stripping them off.
