Spend a few minutes on this before climbing and repeat the lower arm and finger stretches after you're done bouldering.

Also, start out easy. It's mentioned in the articles but it can be tempting to start cranking on a problem while you're fresh instead of loosening up first.

One really big tip - after warming up - is to build up strength slowly. Biceps and other muscles gain strength much, much more quickly than the tendons in your fingers. I've seen a lot of guys get injured that way and be out of the running for months (tendons are also slow to heal). So don't go climbing more than 2 or 3 times a week, don't go climbing if your fingers are still sore from last time, etc.

Answer #2:

Keep climbing...climb long and climb hard. Climb until you can no longer climb. The make sure you take enough rest days to fully recover. Eat a lot of carbs and protein to give you energy and build muscle. Theres no substitute for climbing....sure pull ups push ups crunches and forearm exercises all help but nothing preps you for climbing like climbing regularly
