Bouldering: singing boots
You've bought the latest shoes with the 'new generation' of rubber, 'the stickiest ever'. You use a square of carpet to clean your feet before trying a problem. Can you get any more out of your shoes? Sure can, with a bit of good old spit and polish. Just before trying a problem, spit on the key part of your shoe and then scrub it dry with your beat rag. To really finish the job, firmly rub your thumb in one direction across the rubber until, as the Bleausards say, your shoes will 'sing'. From: Peter Balint, Sydney Bouldering. Published: 28 Aug 2006.
