I had the same injury and was able to come close to 100% after 4 months. I stopped climbing during this time. Here's what I did (per instructions from my occupational therapist).

Note: Warm up your fingers before doing these exercises. You could dip your fingers in warm water, do these exercises after a hot shower, use heating pads, etc.

Start out with these 2 exercises:

  • DIP blocking exercises: 4 sets of 10 reps, 4 times a day (so about 160 a day). You could increase sets/repetitions as your finger gets stronger.

  • PIP blocking exercises: Any combination of sets/reps where you're able to fully extend fingers as far as possible for 60 secs. For example, 4 sets of 15 reps where each rep your fingers are fully extended for 1 second. Or 6 sets of 5 reps where each rep your fingers are fully extended for 2 seconds. You also just fully extend your fingers for 60 seconds straight. Do this about 4 times a day. You can stop doing these exercises once you're able to fully extend your fingers without any pain for 60 secs. But I would still do a set of 30 reps as a warm up any time you do finger exercises.

    Wear these rings around the PIP joint at night when you sleep. Make sure you get the right size.

    After about 2-3 weeks of the above exercises, I did the below once a day in addition to the DIP exercises:

  • Push up with the tip of the injured finger against theraputty (firm enough where there is tension. I used x-soft/yellow putty) for 5 minutes straight.
  • Push down with the tip of the injured finger against theraputty (again, firm enough where there is tension. The theraputty should be much firm than what used for pushing up. I used firm/blue putty) for 5 minutes straight.
  • Used a hand grip for any combination of sets/reps where total reps was 60, once or twice a day.

    I also did the exercises per Esther Smith's advice on the training beta podcast.

    WEAR TAPE WHEN YOU CLIMB

    Hope this helps.
