Spiky

The latest innovation for climbers!
Spikys are essentially a highly effective finger massager.
They are great for soothing sore fingers after a hard crimpy session down the wall or a fingerboard session. Not only that, they are also brilliant for warming up as the massaging motion encourages blood flow to the area. Though I would always recommend caution with any serious finger injury, I have been amazed at how 10 mins massage with one of these can treat a slight tweak after a wall / fingerboard session.
Being a musical household, we have also found them great for warming up and improving dexterity before playing guitar / piano.
When I was first testing these out, I walked into the crag using the ring as I walked and by the time I got to the crag my fingers were full of pumping blood, ready to climb, meaning no wasted power or skin warming them up! Anecdotally, I have found combining the massage with a light walk to produce similar (though not scientifically measured!) results to the Lewis reaction as described in Dave McLeod’s article on finger injuries.
