Climbing Brushes: For Clean Bouldering Holds

Choose your climbing brushes based on your plans and the conditions you’ll encounter on the route. A climbing brush helps remove chalk and loose debris from holds. You’ll need different bristle shapes for small crimps than for large slopers. The material and stiffness of the bristles must be suited to the surface. When climbing outdoors, use only brushes that meet local guidelines, and treat the rock with care. Indoor climbing gyms may have their own rules for cleaning holds.

Bouldering Brush: Selection Criteria

• Bristles: Choose a material and stiffness that match the rock or indoor holds. Take your time when making your selection.
• Brush head size: Compare narrow shapes and wide surfaces for different holds. Clarify any questions using the specific product information.
• Grip: Test the grip and reach for the intended use. Consider your existing gear when making a comparison.
• Storage: Match the brush to the holder on your chalk bag. If possible, test how it handles before using it for the first time.

Putting Together Your Climbing Gear Thoughtfully

Assemble your climbing gear based on the discipline you actually plan to pursue. Indoor climbing, sport climbing on rock, and alpine routes each have different requirements. Read the instructions for each item and consider your existing gear when making your selection. Keep important product information on hand. The first use of any new safety-critical component should take place under expert supervision before it becomes part of your regular climbing gear.

Explore climbing brushes and review the specifications for each model. Also include climbing and bouldering in your planning. If you’re unsure about your selection, seek advice at a Transa store.
