      Comments about Climb On! Handbar:

      I'm outdoors a lot in the winter months, and this stuff saves me every year. Just keep it somewhere convenient and rub the bar into all the cracks, fissures and cuts that develop on your hands from being outdoors. This stuff really works!

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Climb On! Handbar:

      I've recently torn three pads off of my fingers in three separate sessions and I must say, I bought a 1oz can of Climb ON! when I tore the 3rd one and I was back climbing in two days. Regular antibiotic ointment took around five days to heal, but Climb ON! worked as advertised and keeps my fingers from cracking after a long day of chalk. I'll buy again and again!

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Climb On! Handbar:

      I found this product after my first time bouldering and have been using it ever since. It is the perfect size, but lasts months if you use it a couple times a week. It is more of a balm than lotion, so it does remain a bit sticky, but that's the nature of the product. I normally use it the night before or the night after climbing. There are cotton gloves that you can get at the drug store to use if you want to use your hands and keep your stuff at home residue-free. Climb On has gotten me back on the walls quicker than any of the other things I have tried.

      Comments about Climb On! Handbar:

      This is a fantastic product for the hands of any climber! After a long day of climbing, I rub a thin layer onto my hands and fill all the dry spots and cracks in my hands and wear a cotton glove over hands to sleep (using it during the day made me leave greasy hand prints everywhere!). Before using this, my skin would tear and crack at the joints between my pads. After a few days, and for over 6 months, no problems whatsoever!! Makes my hands softer, but never too soft. With other hand products, it cured the dryness, but while climbing, the skin on my pads would peel right off. Best stuff Ever!

      As a healthcare provider, I wash my hands in antibacterial (read: HARSH) soap at least thrice hourly. I end my day with a good slather of the climb on bar and VIOLA! I wake in the morning with healed hands that are ready to go another round in the sink. Thanks so much for carrying this excellent product.

              This product is great. I got it as a freebie at a comp that I helped put on over a year ago and have been using it ever since. It works fast and is quick and easy to apply. It's especially great for climbers whose skin is in a constant state of disrepair because they can't climb as often as they'd like (like me).
