mark Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 My C&S chalk bag (circa early 90's) finally wore out. It was one of those big ones that you could dig into and come out with chalk half way up to your elbow. Where I can get another one like that? Quote
Szyjakowski Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 do climbing companies even make them anymore...as most climbers only climb boulders and don't even use chalkbags...fukin wankers.... Send yours in to a seamstress to be fixed...its the only answer Quote

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 What?! What sport climber is going to weigh themselves down with a bunch of extra crap in their chalk bag? Unless maybe it was some Gu packets to suck down at the mid-route rest on those desperate redpoint attempts. And hey, person, if you want that thing fixed, DFA's good with the sewing machine. Well, passable anyway. Or you could try http://www.kriegclimbing.com . The guy that owns it is a super nice guy, and he'd probably be more than happy to craft you an elbow-deep old-school number. Probably even get it with Superman on it or something. Quote

Dru Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 just buy a small stuff sack and use that. clip it to your 2" swami with a big ol' oval biner. Quote
specialed Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 My neon speckled Boucher chalkbag circa 1985, with pink palm tree stretch neoprene belt is my most prized article of climbing gear . I shall cry when it wears out Quote
MATT_B Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 How do you wear out a chalk bag? You must be digging deep. If you are crafty you can try to make one. It's not too hard. If not try http://www.fishproducts.com/catalog/productlinefs.html Quote

cracked Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 Prana makes a big chalk bag. I've got one. It doesn't quite swallow my (skinny) forearm, but it's big enough for my XL hands. They also make a "chalk bucket". That might be big enough for you... Quote
mattp Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 On low angled granite, I've worn out my chalk bag and harness by sitting on them at belays. Quote
