i'm kinda developing a *number* of boulder problems near london and i've ran into a few roofs that could use some epoxy. i'm not typically a fan of glued problems, but there are a few *relative* classics that i want to 1) exist and 2) not crush my face in.

anybody have any suggestions for something cheap and functional?

few hundred > 100

if your math is rusty brush up before using any 2:1 epoxies.

oh yeah, and classics don't need epoxy, so also brush up on your definition of a classic.

hilarious. did you guys discuss this tandem definition assault cuddled up in bed together or are you autonomous retards?

few hundred > 100. thanks.

classics don't need epoxy? pft. classics are about movement - i could give a shit if it's held together with bubble gum as long as it climbs well and doesn't kill anyone.

note: the beginning of this thread was just an attempt to sort out good epoxy from bad epoxy from someone who might have used epoxy on sandstone. it was not an attempt to discuss math and aesthetics with live-in message board trolls who mask their general inadequacies with reference to 1) their amazing mathematical skills and 2) an imaginary climbing dictionary.

brush up. lol.

so chipping and grid bolting are game as well?

really? are you serious or are you just really bored?

you would equate reinforcing a line for safety and longevity with drilling dozens of holes and generating holds?

that's not even apples and oranges.
