As a climbing instructor, this is what I've learned:

- some skin, muscles, joints r just tighter than others
- some people need more chaulk than others
- some skin will firm up over time (naturally adapt) & others won't
- bouldering - u seem to use ur hands more in harder ways than climbing
- put tape on & do not worry about it. Many people l know climb & boulder with tape
- u may want to change ur technique too. Take a class.

Have fun!

Use a climbers balm - like Bag Balm or one of the other balms - it will make your skin heal faster and make your hands tougher - use it after you climb and they will feel much better
