Wear latex gloves. Keeps the wind off your fingers and actually makes a BIG difference. When I climb, I wear latex and then some brand they sell at Home Depot as "Handyman" gloves with velcro, but I got them from Tessco and they're "sticky" on the palms. They were like $40. When I take the other gloves off to do work I leave the latex on. Even that little separation from the metal makes a big difference too.
