Climbers tape splits and worn pads. Gymnasts tape wrists and fingers around grips. Tape is not chalk, and chalk on top of tape is optional. A smooth tape surface can be slippery. Some people chalk the tape, some people would rather the tape stay tacky.
Tape does not make a torn pulley healthy. If a finger joint is injured, see a clinician. This glossary is not a treatment guide.

Narrow athletic tape for fingers. Climbers use it on splits. It is not grip by itself.
Tape a flapper before alcohol chalk touches it. Tape does not fix an injured pulley.
