    Or… gloves? I mean climbers use gloves sometimes I’m pretty sure…

      Rock climbers don’t, they need skin contact for good grip. Crack climbers do, but they’re the opposite of what you’d expect, they only protect the back of the hands.

      Ice climbers wear gloves because it’s usually too cold for bare hands.
