brushing

[glassgowkiss]

went to checkemus due to bad weather. fuck- out of something like 20 people climbing there last afternoon not a single wanker even carried a tooth bruch to clean holds. newhalem is caked too. eny of you fuckers even has common decency to clean your crap for the next person???

[Dru]

then you have distel who uses his toothbrush to brush chalk on to the holds!

[glassgowkiss]

as everyone should in a sport climbing area, what's your point dru?

[Dru]

chalk does not need to be brushed onto the holds. your hands aresufficient to do that. too much chalk should be brushed OFF the holds though. or let the rain do it for you.

Peeps who don't brush are bunk.

 

BRUSH OR DIE, SUCKAZ!

[DirtyHarry]

Atleast twice a day. Sometimes three times.

[Distel32]

Bob has got me started on brushing shit all the time.

[RuMR]

i once fell off a route cuz it wasn't brushed!

 

I'm actually of the exact opposite opinion...too much brushing (and i've seen dumbasses w/ steel brushes too) can polish shit up...

[cracked]

What's there to brush?

[Dru]

you could brush the stains off your gorts

[slothrop]

What is this brushing? Just use the blood from your shredded tips to soak up the junk on the holds and apply your mutant finger strength to pulverize the mixture into nothingness. BZZZAAATTTT!

[tomtom]

is actually more important than brushing.

Bob has got me started on brushing shit all the time.

 

Does one use a soft bristle or a rigid one for brushing shit?

[Dru]

soft bristle for the dingleberry

hard bristle when cleaning the bowl

Wow, DFL you sould work for the ADA.

[Bill_Simpkins]

Bob has a good point. It should be taken more seriously.

[lancegranite]

Personally, I climb fast and use chalk that others have left behind. Why sit there and futz about?

Works pretty good, even down here in the desert.

[glassgowkiss]

yeah, maybe on 5.7's. try to get on something more then 12 and then you'll stop talking out of your ass pal

[glassbonghits]

yeah, I stop in the middle of 5.14b crux to brush the holds AND my teeth. You other wanker climb like a crippled midget.

[swaterfall]

What's there to brush?

 

You could use a broom to sweep off those steps.

[lancegranite]

That is my system on 5.12.

I'm no hardman, so the clock is ticking when I climb.

I only have so much strength.

 

Chalking up all the time wastes time/energy that I need to reach the anchors.

If you only grab a non-crux hold for a few seconds, do you need chalk?

My weakness forces me to keep moving, to the good rest.

 

Dont get my wrong,

I love chalk!

I just love climbing more.

[Distel32]

you should still clean the holds when you are done

[Szyjakowski]

cracks require no cleaning....sorry for the thread drift.

[Dr_Flash_Amazing]

cracks require no cleaning

 

Yeah, chalk doesn't stick to the rock in cracks, because trad climbing is more better than sport climbing is dumb.

Man, how long does it take to brush an entire route? I can tell I'll never make a good sporto. If I can't climb something just because it's not brushed, then maybe it's not because it's not brushed, if ya know what I mean? I'd rather just go do a different one, perhaps easier , than try to brush it on lead. I don't think rap-brushing, if even possible, would be a good use of crag time either. But then again I've never even projected a route. Or laid a finger on a .12.

 

But anyway, Luke I guess you are advocating that people brush the route on the way down?
