Just started climbing a little over a month ago.
Hella fun and video gamey - but my god damn nimble hands keep getting torn up. I’m putting on tape on the afflicted areas, but other areas will then become a problem.
I’m thinking that I need to just continue. At some point, my skin must start learning that it has to toughen up.
Btw. Are there any good climbing communities in the fediverse?
Please elaborate.
Are you referring to the handheld zapper or the blue light one?
The handheld surely must work? You just need a small enough mesh to create a contact between the two iron “wires”
Could a blue light trap work? Idk how mosquitoes work compared to flies.
I read somewhere that smelly cheese attracts the flying leeches. Maybe placing some bait, and swat them when they’ve fallen into your trap.
I better yet, zap them. Swatting mid-air is hard. I’ve begun catching them with my hands. Better success rate, as they then don’t get blown out the way by the fly swatter’s air current.
Ps. I’ve read about some people having invented an infrared light beam that will fry them mid air. Idk if it’s safe, or even something to purchase - just throwing ideas out there.
Pps. If you wanna go totally bananas, you could paint your entire room white, and decorate like a minimalist. They’d have nowhere to hide.
As a child I trained a Kadabra to level 100 because another kid told me this is when it evolved.
Nope! We did eventually trade back and forth - but those 2 minutes of my newly evolved level 100 Alakazam on my friend’s cartridge demanded an insane level of trust between two 10 year olds. That shit was intense!
This app looks one to one with the newly revived Lemmur app.
Isn’t it just a fork?
Edit: I was right. Looks like two people are working on the same app in different directions.

I’ve found that I’ve progressively stated making better grabs as I’ve been training - I’ll keep your advise in mind.
Atm. I’m not even starting building up callouses. I’m considering maybe taking a week’s break to rest my hands - but I’m feeling like I’ll regress if I do this.
Probably I’m going to do “chin ups” on the wall to get better upper body / arm strength. Often when I’m struggling, I seem to get the most torn up hands.
I appreciate your advise!
