Rhino Skin SolutionsSpit, Rock Climbing Hydrating Aloe Spray to Increase Friction on Rock, Improves Glassy Skin When Climbing & Bouldering

This has reduced my skin tearing significantly and makes it so I don't dry rip off holds. It feels a little sticky for the first minute but once you put on chalk you don't notice it. After using this, I've seen a complete 180 on the state of my hands. Highly recommend for climbers who's skin rips easily.

Chalk dries out my hands so badly, I was hoping if I could either use this instead - or at least layer it first before chalk - then my hands wouldn’t dry out so badly.My hands get far too sweaty for this to work on its own. As a pre-chalk layer, I’m not sure it’s doing anything, either. My hands still get very dry unless I obsessively moisturize.Using “Working Hands” moisturizer +Vaseline has worked better for dry skin. There’s no way around using chalk for me, but I’m experimenting with different brands.

It’s extremely useful in a super dry condition or you have super dry hands. If you have tendency to dry fire a lot, this will give you much better control of the holds.
