Thanks... the price of Lapis brushes has seemingly got out of hand recently.

Supply and demand. Shame they don't last very long!

Also a tip.

Once your end had worn down, saw it off then you still have two thirds of the brush almost new. That's what i find.

Another tip...

should you accidentally snap your Lapis brush, buy another one and break it in a similar place.  Then superglue the new part onto what's left of your old brush and hey presto you have your old brush back.


Sorry Adam, not meaning to be sarky, just liked the thought of Viz toptips

I just looked through the Climb Newcastle site, and whilst their Accessories section has a picture of said Lapis brush I couldn't find the page to order them.

Google can only find this and this.  The later has a link for Lapis Brush, but it just takes you to the Accessories section which only lists Beta Climbing Kit and Metolious Grip Saver.

Common Adam, where can we get our hands on these bargains?

that reminds me of trigger on only fools & horses. had the same brush for 15 years. it'd had 17 new handles and 5 new heads.

Just had a look again now and page has been removed. I wonder if my bulk order was too much!  :(

I had a problem ordering them too. The order has gone through but I didn't get a chance to pay for them. Someone from Climb Newcastle is calling me back.

thats what i do too, its a great tip and makes your brushes last 5 weeks instead of 4, but great for the monos in font

Anyone seen any good prices about lately? £4.75 seems to be best I can find from stock.

edit - £4.01 from bananafingers.

Any other brushes as good for less?

Lapis plastic brushes £3.99 @ CragX Climbing (Lapis Wooden brushes @ £5.35).  Incurred postage might make the £0.02 saving redundant, although I guess you could bulk buy four to get free postage.

Having snapped countless lapis brushed over the years, I can highly recommend the wooden ones. Same bristle material but stronger and less likely to snap... Worth the extra couple of quid IMHO

by big and small i actually meant one plastic and one wood, so got a bit of a mix, will see how well plastic lasts for future reference.

Three wooden handled brushes here for a tenner. I've got a set and they're pretty good
