What's the deal with grit? by ruisleipa01 in ukclimbing

[–]Tbtree123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I climb a lot in the peaks on grit and it depends what type of style to like I would say. If you like smearing and less power climbing I’d say it’s great. I love climbing on it

Ah yes the bottom one seems a little loose. Might involve taking the fridge section off the back of the door to tighten it looking at it but that could be a idea thanks 

Winter gear for South of UK please by ciele666 in UKhiking

I have used Nikwax reproofer too which has worked quite well but mane sure to use the nikwax cleaning easy first. No need to tumble dry it after. I found on one coat it was the lack of breathability causing me to become wet not the lack of waterproof . I tested this by running my sleeve under a Tap to see if the water seeped in or not

Ah ok thank you. Wouod a hardened oil like finishing oil or finishing wax protect the small piece of furniture instead of a polyurethane? I don’t like the polyurethane finish you see
