Climbing performance comes down to a bunch of factors but at the end of the day, the most important one of all is having strong fingers.

Having strong fingers is one thing. Keeping them going is another. This video from Kelly Starrett, author of Becoming a Supple Leopard, shows a technique for alleviating finger pain from swelling. I learned this technique from Kelly, and can personally attest to the fact that it works really well when your fingers are achy and swollen. Give me a band over a tub of Ibuprofen any day.

Hope this video helps. Be sure to check out this interview I did with Dr. Starrett a few years ago as well.
