Why this gift works
Chalk and skin build up on holds until they feel greasy, and climbers fix that with a stiff brush. Sublime's classic brush has a large head with about 6,500 nylon bristles on a handle made from recycled plastic, with a small compartment inside for a skin balm.
Nylon is durable and holds up to daily use on plastic gym holds and hard rock like granite. It is a small, useful gift that climbers tend to lose and rebuy, so a spare never hurts.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A boulderer who is always borrowing the gym brush
- A climber who keeps losing brushes at the crag
Think twice if
- They climb mostly on sandstone
The catch
Nylon is too abrasive for soft sandstone, where climbers use softer natural bristles - so this is a brush for the gym and hard rock, not sandstone areas.
Skip for a climber who mostly climbs outdoors on sandstone.
Worth knowing before you buy
- Brush gently - scrubbing hard wears rock and holds.
- The listing is the blue color.
Why we like it
- Big head cleans a hold in a few strokes
- Durable nylon for daily gym use
- Handle made from recycled plastic
Questions people ask
Chalk and skin oil build up on holds and make them slick. A quick brush clears it so the hold feels grippy again.
