What I'm getting at is that I'm utterly bad at climbing. That, of course, doesn't mean that I can't put some product placements on my web page so that people will give me lots of money when I put up my first V-14. I bought my chalk bag from the good people at this company. The sell other stuff too. I just happen to have purchased only a chalk bag from them.
Shoes are important, and stuff.
Here's a good company that sells shoes. This site is wacky and they sell stuff. But climbing's not about the equipment, it's about nature. The Gunks New England Bouldering Check out those crazy mutha's at Middlebury. They crank some pretty sick climbs.
