Grit- no debate.Certain other rock types, used properly, in the right circumstances they may be of use. Sometimes.Feel free to debate.....
That is a problem with climbers dogging well beyond their ability down here - appalling footwork (none at all really) and being hung in the same place for about an hour leads to exaggerated erosion of holds. Same applies to the starts to hard bouilder problems where footholds get larger and larger or they disappear.
I'm convinced that most of the wear & tear on the lower footholds of boulder problems ( & quite a bit of the poor footwork you mention) is due to failing to clean shoes properly, or in most cases at all.
i know a regular forum user who has a wire brush and uses it. Any guesses?
