alienPDX Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I find that scrubbing my crack with soap, water and a washcloth gets it clean & fresh even after a long hot day at the crags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaphappy Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 (edited) Darryl's shelf support tool may work great but a standard $4 wall board saw works fine. The teeth pull out the dirt and cut any root tangles that you will encounter. A butter knife works but not as well. Fred Meyer sells stiff bristled brushes for $2.80 that seem to last longer than most. Don't waste money on the fancy plastic handled type, they do not work any better. A masons brush will help eliminate the loose dirt. Happy scrubbin. Oh, and don't forget lotsa Edited April 14, 2003 by slaphappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plexus Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Why clean the crack? You've got plenty of unoffensive flora there. I've climbed a hanging garden before and I just girth-hitched a sapling about 12 inches high and an inch diameter, bomer baby, bomber!! It was easy fifth-class and I figured by the time I actually extracted a placement, I'd already be at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCramer Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Ultimately it depends on the shape of the crack. Thin shallow cracks are a different beast than a hand crack or fist crack. If anyone does try the shelf bracket trick - don't buy a long one or it will just bend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 The drywall saw sounds like a tool I should add to my aresenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spew Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Don't clean it! Ground up ascent, toss a few things out on the way up. Traditional values of ground up no cleaning have been established in the NW by a late great crackmaster. Suck it up and send it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
