FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Metolius Boar Hair Brush?
Its primary purpose is to efficiently remove chalk dust from climbing holds, improving grip and visibility.
What are the dimensions of the brush?
The brush measures approximately 7.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width (19.05 cm x 1.27 cm).
Can I use this brush on outdoor rock climbs?
While it can be used on outdoor holds, it is primarily designed for the chalk commonly found in climbing gyms. For outdoor use, consider brushes designed for natural rock textures and potential dirt.
How often should I clean the brush?
It's recommended to tap out excess chalk after each climbing session. A more thorough cleaning can be done periodically as needed.
What material are the bristles made of?
The bristles are made from natural boar hair.
Is this brush suitable for cleaning climbing shoes?
No, this brush is specifically designed for cleaning climbing holds. It is too stiff and abrasive for delicate climbing shoe materials.
Will this brush damage climbing holds?
When used as intended (brushing away chalk), it is very unlikely to damage typical gym climbing holds. Avoid aggressive scraping.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are splayed and ineffective
Gently tap the brush against a hard surface to realign the bristles. If they remain splayed, consider replacing the brush.
Brush is not removing chalk efficiently
Ensure the bristles are clean. Tap out any accumulated chalk. For stubborn residue, a damp cloth followed by air drying may help, but avoid excessive moisture.
Bristles are falling out
This is uncommon with proper care. Ensure you are not using excessive force or prying with the bristles. If a significant amount of bristles fall out, contact customer support.

Compatibility: This brush is compatible with all types of climbing holds found in indoor climbing gyms. It is designed to work best on chalk residue.
