Ouch, they do indeed. Recently there were a few times where I stopped because my hands felt like they were being shredded, not because my muscles were giving out.
When I climb outdoors on ropes, I'm wearing gloves now. I bought them to be prepared for the winter cold (snort, well that hasn't happened) but turns out they're really convenient 'cause ropes feel nasty on the palms.
(I own my biases *g*)
I can see where you're coming from now. :) I still love toproping at least equally, but they're both really, really fun.
