I think it's pretty damn cool. I wouldn't pay for one, but then I don't have an income (student) so I'm not the typical market.
Unless, of course, you made on of Vinyl Scratch. I would buy that motherfucker in two seconds flat.

Yeah, it means that the bag probably won't like the usual wear and tear of climbing. It looks awesome though, but if I had one I wouldn't want to destroy it with climbing.
I have a question, too: who the hell actually clips the chalkbag to the harness?

For me, that's the telltale sign of a not-so-experienced climber.

Not to many people I assume. including me. seeing its home made I dont have a belt for it. I usually just clip it to my pant's belt loop when bouldering.
And yeah it will most likely get destroyed. but most things do after time. maybe I can find some sort of coating.....later though im lazy at the moment haha

I don't care what is canon) we can work out a price. [image]http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/9abdc1caf46a74adcdbdaafa21b4b5b2/51525%20-%20%3B)%20o_-%20vinyl_scratch%20wink.png[/image]
I will pass the word to my gf. I know she has one other order for a crash pad right now so I will see how much she is charging. Being her boyfriend I didnt have to pay. haha

I actually know one guy (my main partner) who has been talking about getting some cord for his bag for about 3 years. Still just clips it to his hual loop. He hates it, the world may never know why he hasn't done anything. amphotography89 wrote: I will pass the word to my gf.

Being her boyfriend I didnt have to pay. haha Heh, I had a joke laid out about some flattering photos of myself I have and whether she likes red or white wine more, but then I realized I was being a total dickhead. So I decided to just joke about joking about stealing your girlfriend for her artistic talent.
its all good. just don't actually steal her. I would have no one to make me chalk bags and scarves haha

Cord for the win, doubles as emergency prussik. Saved me some embarassment when I was teaching my gf how to rap and left my prussik in the bag. I was also one biner short, because the biner was with prussik, so had to gut a quickdraw to demo how to use a prussik. She was freaked out the whole time, thinking I was totally inept, but then gravity did it's work and she got down.

Ay, lad, you're a strange one. I do what most climbers do in a tight chimney--move the bag to the side. But if that rocks your boat, who cares.

Never, and I mean NEVER climb a squeeze chimney topless. I don't care how hot it is that day, or how "easy" you expect the route to be. It's just not worth the risk of... A nipple incident.

If I were to make a movie with that scene I would show you just about to fall and then cut to some one cutting a stick of pepperoni with one of those deli meat slicers. haha. Also my girlfriend is working on the drawing for the dj unicorn.
