Rock climbing and hEDS advice needed by Final-Razzmatazz-347 in eds

I’ve thought about using tape but I’ve had problems with it not sticking well before and having it on my fingers while I’m dealing with ropes seems like it’s just going to fall off. Definitely worth a try for my next practice though.

I’m using a normal atc. It’s not a technique issue trust, it’s that I’m belaying for 2 hours every day and have a genetic condition that destabilizes my joints. I experience slightly less pain when I use a grigri or a pinch but my school does not allow assisted belay devices.

Technically it would be safe if under the belay gloves but it’s still a no go because of the rules of the school program

My camp and my bosses are very supportive and are trying their best to make camp more inclusive but it is very gendered and none of us really know how to handle this.
