gfycat.comDo you you find it effects the texture of the holds much?

Yes, older climbs tend to be a bit greasier. Thats why we clean them!

Actually what I meant does the power washing effect the texture.

How much would that hurt on a human?

Always wondered how they did this at the gym I go to. After putting them back on the wall, do they grease up faster if they've been washed a couple of times? I've seen holds go from greasy and jet black on a route, taken down, washed, and then set on another route it feels brand new.

Couple of gyms I know run them through the dishwasher.

When people rock climb, they put chalk on their fingers to help them climb. This sort of thing builds up very quickly, and not from dirty hands.

What you’re seeing come off that hold is actually the rubber from climber’s shoes more than the chalk.

First glimpse I thought those were bananas. In the end it was satisfying as always.
