2. These Boot Bananas, not very glamorous, (when is climbing ever glam?) are top of my wishlist at the moment. Climbing shoes work best with no socks, but as you can imagine, this gets pretty sweaty and starts to emit a smell. While I'm all for getting to sit alone on the bus, I also wish my bag with my climbing shoes in could have a floor to itself. These boot bananas promise to remove that smell from climbing shoes so you no longer have to worry about whether people may be thinking that smell is coming directly from you.
3. Eric Karlsson's YouTube channel, very informative but in an accessible way. I really enjoyed this routesetting video:
4. This article on How to Have Fun and Climb Hard at Comps. Especially with the freshers bouldering competition I have coming up.
5. A NEW WORD, or rather one that I thought I knew the meaning of, but appears to be a bit different in the climbing world. 'FEELING PUMPED?' I would say to my fellow climbers as we were on the approach to a crag, or walking down the corridor to the bouldering room. Turns out pumped is not feeling super psyched and ready to do a really fab climb, but when you forearms become so pumped with blood, you've lost a lot of your strength and it is pretty much time to go home.
