Even if it's not your Burden of Dreams: brushing the holds of a boulder or a climbing route properly can work wonders. The quality of the brush plays a major role. The high-quality and creatively designed wooden brushes from Faza are made by hand in Europe with great attention to detail.
The glued bristles enable a dense trimming and thus a long-lasting use - whether for bouldering or climbing. With the colorful models of Confession in Color series you are literally showing your colors.
