i'm really tired of the old guys spraying about how you should be a responsible climber and brush holds if you're hanging. i can't think of a single hold i've ever had to brush that was crucial to the ascent. i think you're all just weak and washed up and need something to bitch about. change you're slogan to something like, "if you're too weak to do a .10d move, at most, on any route at the red, then you should brush it. then maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to pull on the hold after years of repetitive motion."

I still have to brush 5.8 holds in order to send let alone .10d

Hey Wes, he just called you old. You gonna take that kind of statement from him?

maybe you should get on harder routes Ho

ho you should go and try to work that aid line at western sky bridge

I don't generally brush, holds or otherwise, but I don't use chalk unless it's really hot and humid. People should chalk less and climb more.

Chalk less? Are you mad?

i usually like to add a good bit of spit to the wad of chaulk i put onto my hands. i find that lends a certain amount of pastiness nescessary to send particular routes.

Or routes that have seen more than 1 ascent!
