Yeah, I plan to tape the finger up the next times, see if that makes a difference. That's what I did for the first few months after I injured it.
I'm reasonably sure it's not a tendon problem... actually, I think it's more a coincidence it's the same finger: I vaguely recall hitting my knuckle a while ago and that's where it hurts, and I've only been noticing it for a few weeks. It only hurts a day or two after climbing, the rest of the time it's just a bit stiff when I make a tight fist. But that's almost back to normal now.
Possibly that hit to the knuckle had more effect because the finger is still stiffer and more sensitive than the others to begin with. So, yeah, taping should provide extra protection, can't hurt to have that.
Though my favourite bit is the move at 1:10; I think that's even more impressive than the final guy who just powers through it.
That move is smooth, innit! But the careless ease with which the last guy strolls through the problem is very cool too.
