Dru Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 then you have distel who uses his toothbrush to brush chalk on to the holds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassgowkiss Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 as everyone should in a sport climbing area, what's your point dru? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuMR Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 i once fell off a route cuz it wasn't brushed! Â I'm actually of the exact opposite opinion...too much brushing (and i've seen dumbasses w/ steel brushes too) can polish shit up...

slothrop Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 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 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 is actually more important than brushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancegranite Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassgowkiss Posted August 6, 2004 Author Share Posted August 6, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassbonghits Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swaterfall Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 What's there to brush? Â You could use a broom to sweep off those steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancegranite Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 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. Â 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. Â Dont get my wrong, I love chalk! I just love climbing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distel32 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 you should still clean the holds when you are done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szyjakowski Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 cracks require no cleaning....sorry for the thread drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 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.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashw_justin Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 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. Â But anyway, Luke I guess you are advocating that people brush the route on the way down?
