Yeah, I like Urban Climb, but their grading—for boulder and lead—is just random.

@EllenInEdmonton
I love those kind of markets! I remember the big tech market in Singapore when I lived there, you could get anything.

Nice send. Is the grading the same as UC Collingwood, where black is the second hardest?

@EllenInEdmonton
Since buying that stuff off aliexpress I've since found this place, that I'm definitely going to try for the next lot.

There's a UK version, but no US version it seems.

I bought it online because none of the fabric shops here stock it. Buying online is always a bit of a gamble.

Polyester fleece, with a ripstop collar where the drawstring is.

Yes it's just a standard domestic machine. Taking it slowly for the thick bits and planning the order of operations.

More #climbing gear, hot off the Bernina. A chalk bag for lead climbing, to match the bouldering one I made a while ago. I'm particularly proud of the attachment system. Two Velcro straps that loop through the back gear loops on my harness, meaning that it stays where you want it, and the Velcro is swapped on each loop so you can use it as a single loop if you need. This is an iteration of the last one I made, but with chonkier fabric. #sewing #IDidAThing

I made a thing.
#Bouldering chalk bucket. I can post the pattern I made for it if anyone wants it, but I didn't document the process.

Didn't see this until too late. Just as well as it turns out I guess.
If you ever need a partner give me a ping. I have only a small amount of trad experience, but keen to get more.

Semi secret training wall you say? Do tell.
