A member asked:
I've been rock climbing for about 5 months. would my tendons stretch and make my fingers longer? i don't think my pinkies are shrinking.

Remember: that there are bones at the core of the digits. Don't anticipate that you will obtain any increase in digit length but would anticipate that they will become stronger. Take care.
