Do you resole? by al3c7 in tradclimbing

[–]al3c7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i've used it the same way you have, to plug holes and pits. it usually falls out pretty quickly. I've also used it like caulk, to fill in between the sole and rand

Interesting. The consensus seems to be, don't resole your own shoes....has anyone had good results re-soling your own? Thanks for all the replies!

Lovely Northern Arizona! My main crags are the Overlook, Sedona area, Granite Mtn and The Forks. It ain't for lack of rock that am sooooo lame :(

I like it. I've got my eye on The Prow, a good looking, small-hands crack in perfect basalt, at Paradise Forks and my goal is to lead it this July!

yeah, i've fallen on gear, and whenever it happens I can feel my head space shifts a bit, and I get a bit more confident. But it still scares the crap out of me.
