Brushing holds is a pretty vital part of bouldering, but often the holds that need the most attention from the bristles are those that are out of reach.

On initial inspection I was impressed; there were none of the zany features that have put me off buying Mad Rocks in the past.

Rockfax West Country Climbs | Guidebook Review

The summer alpine season is upon us and if you are in the process of making final decisions about what gear to take, and what to leave behind, the chances are you are wondering what crampons to take (if any).
