Finally!!!
Thanks to Arty, I've managed to finally secure a Black Diamond Chalkboy and not only that but by chance it was a red one instead of the limey yellow green one. Filled it up with some chalkballs and a fair bit of loose chalk and oh it was a joy. :D
For all those non-climbers they probably won't get it, but this baby is great for bouldering basically you can stick both hands in and get them completely covered in chalk rather than fumble with around with a small chalkbag. Plus it has a handy pocket for keys, phone, etc, along with a mesh compartment for shoes (looks a smidge small so will probably use that for the phone instead), and even a little holder for the brush. Psyched!
The other dream bit of gear I was after was also acquired at the same time, a Black Diamond Drop Zone crash pad. Basically it's a slab of high quality foam (104cm x 122cm x 9cm) with a burly cover over it, it has backpack straps incorporated with the design (after all it is 4.5 Kg along with a gear pocket in the side flap. An essential bit of outdoor bouldering gear to literally save my arse. :P
I love my toys. :D Of course it means that my credit card bill is going to be pretty nasty this month, so will have to cut down on the big nights out. :P
