do you use chalk whaen training on your finger board?
i am fairly new to the fingerboards and dont know weather i should or not.
i'm guessing theyre made out of the same materiel as climbing holds so chalk wont damage it or anything, but i find my hands getting realy sweaty!!!
just wondered...
-
Munkii, you can use crack on your fingerboard for all I care. What's w/ all these retard questions?
-
OMG where did such rudeness come from?
Sorry Munkki, climbers use axle grease. It's kinda slippy but you get used to it after a while . .
-
all these reatard questions are because im only young, inexperienced, my family have no interest in climbing whatsoever and i dont actually know any climbers!!!!!
u happy now! >:(

Lagers Junior was so taken with DancingPuss that she has it as her desktop background - tiled so there are rows and rows of it.

I have the moon board and i possibly use too much chalk because the friction on the holds are disapearing, i have learn't to get my fingers so they dont really have chalk on them, but there not sweating. Chalk up and keep slapping until this happens... to think about it my moon board needs a bath tonight actualy...........
-
You could use liquid chalk... Fair enough it's rank and dries your fingers, but you won't chalk up your board...
-
is liquid chalk expensive?
does it smell bad?
-
to be honest i did think houdini's vicious come backs were a bit harsh but i read the "does it smell bad" comment and kinda wondered where the logic of that question comes from, i mean can you imagine people liberally applying a liquid to theyre hands that smells really really bad? to answer the question though, i reckon the liquid chalk smells of really cheap vodka since its full of alcohol and as far as i can remember didnt cost more than a tenner and lasts ages.
-
liquid chalk is expensive these days. Used to be able to buy it for about £3, now its about £6.50. I don't buy it anymore.
Nige has made his own in the past, don't know if he still does, I can't be arsed with all that. Superchalk all the way for me

a wrote this because: Fair enough it's rank
so i wonderd why it was rank and the firest thing i thuoght of is that it could smell completely rank.

I haven't tried it or anything I just remembered that they recently started stocking it and it's not that expensive in comparison to the others.
Earlier on in the year I was using some that I randomly found in font but strangely enough the chalk didn't ever seem to turn from a paste into anything else....hmmm strange white goo in a bottle... i'm just hoping I didn't find it at cuvier :o
-
Liquid chalk can be pretty useful particularly in less than good conditions where I find it acts well as a base layer of sweat prevention, not as a replacement for actual chalk. My fingertips sweat a lot so it certainly helps me. I can't remember how much I paid for a bottle but it wasn't extortionate considering that you only need a little bit and hence it lasts forever. I shudder to think what it is that you have been rubbing into your hands Paul.

so taken with DancingPuss
I thought that the puss would have worn thin and become annoying after seeing it more than...oh I dont know... once but amazingly it has matured with time like a fine wine.

Maybe Kev doesn't know that you're an evil, spiteful, nasty, 'orrible c*nt, hOUD. :lol:
It was a bit harsh though ::)
