Last time I went for a long climb in my local gym, I really wore my fingers down. They basically felt like most of the dead-skin-cell layer was gone. any good way to protect your fingers from this, or do they just get tougher with experience.

You should develope callouses after a period of time and that should "strengthen" the points of most contact. You can also tape certain areas, but that is typically used to prevent injury. However, taping between the knuckle joints on your fingers will reduce some friction in that area. Other than that, my hands are calloused and nothing really bothers me any more, outside of all day climbing on rough granite.
Anybody have any other suggestions?
