Sounds pathetic I know but I have reeeeeally stripped my foot after two hours of climbing and all and it's , well, yuk for a start and weeping. Obviously need to cover it til it heals so what's best for the burns and scrapes? Would using my mighty grip ankle protectors be ideal til it's sorted too?

Calendula or arnica. Calendula is amazing for healing cuts. It works GREAT on zits too! This is the stuff I have: http://www.swansonvitamins.com/boiron-calendula-cream-2-5-oz-cream?SourceCode=INTL405&CAWELAID=327687798&catargetid=530002460000000567&cadevice=c&mkwid=tajrpZ3o&pcrid=18953397607&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CMTsg8LckboCFU-Z4AodaREAwQ You should be able to find it in natural health stores, probably will be around $10-14 in the stores.
I feel your pain, I've done that too after climbing and and then bought a mighty grip ankle thing too, it's ok but I don't like the feel of it personly as its not the same feel as your skin on the pole, it does have a nice strip that protects the top of your foot though, hope you heal quickly xx
Thanks ladies, I'll check those out. It really is a rotten one :( huge band aid over it for now but I dread next time I climb!
I'm not a huge fan of the ankle protectors myself I'm class but I've I'm having a bruised or sore day they help me get by. I found them really useful from the start when I was learning to climb, helped me take the focus off not sliding and building strength.
