8BPLUS TAPES FAQ
How do I tape my fingers for climbing?
The most common method is the H-tape or ring wrap. For a ring wrap, tear a strip of climbing finger tape and wrap it once around the middle segment of the finger, just below the first joint. For an H-tape, which gives more pulley support, tear a longer strip, wrap around the base of the finger, bring it up and over the joint, and anchor it on the other side.
8BPLUS finger tape tears cleanly by hand to any width, so you can tear thinner strips for precise wrapping without scissors. For best results, tape before climbing rather than after injury starts, and replace tape between attempts if it loosens.
What is the best tape for climbing?
The best climbing tape is rigid, non-elastic, tears by hand, and stays on through a full session without leaving residue. Look for 100% cotton construction — it breathes, conforms to your finger shape, and won't cause skin reactions. 8BPLUS climbing finger tape is made from 100% cotton with a zinc-oxide adhesive that is latex-free, urethane-free, and plastic-free. It's strong enough to stay on through bouldering and sport climbing, and comes off cleanly without leaving sticky residue. Available in 38mm width which tears easily into thinner strips for different taping techniques.
Is 8BPLUS tape the same as athletic tape?
Many athletic tapes are made with plastic-based or urethane adhesives not designed for skin contact over extended sessions. 8BPLUS finger tape is specifically engineered for climbing and skin-contact. It uses a zinc-oxide adhesive that is skin-friendly, latex-free, and compliant with EU REACH and SVHC regulations. Unlike generic athletic tape, it contains zero plastic and zero urethane, tears cleanly by hand without scissors, and is designed to breathe through 1000+ micropores so your skin stays healthy under the tape. The result is a tape that performs better on rock and in the gym, and is kinder to your skin and the environment.
What width tape should I use for climbing?
8BPLUS finger tape comes in 38mm width, which is the standard width for climbing tape and works for most taping techniques. For a ring wrap or H-tape on fingers, tear the 38mm strip lengthwise into two or three thinner strips — 8BPLUS tape tears cleanly by hand, so no scissors are needed. A half-width strip (around 15–19mm) is ideal for individual finger joints and pulley support. The full 38mm width works well for crack climbing hand wraps and wrist support.
Can I use 8BPLUS tape for pulley injuries?
Yes! 8BPLUS climbing finger tape is well-suited for pulley support taping. For A2 pulley injuries, the H-tape method is most commonly used: wrap around the base of the affected finger, bring the tape up over the injured pulley, and anchor it on the far side to reduce strain on the tendon. Use a half-width strip torn from the 38mm roll for precise application. The zinc-oxide adhesive holds firmly through climbing sessions without slipping, and the breathable cotton construction means the tape stays comfortable during longer rehab climbing sessions. Always consult a physiotherapist or sports doctor before climbing on an active pulley injury.
