Ok figured I'd start a new thread to track this effort. So if you want to help out maybe you can post here with what route you'd like to clean.

I am thinking late October would be a good time to do this work?? Comments?

Great idea.......I'll take the second pitch of Waterwalk and I think Stacey said she would do The Boulevard from top to bottom :P :lol:

I'd like to tackle Ziggy Piggy unless Jon wants this one. Then I'd opt for Fandango.

End of October sounds great. Maybe the weekend of the 24/25?

Awesome Shawn, I love 'think pure thoughts' and would love to have that cleaned.

Not sure what I want to clean... so many choices..... I'd happily take some route that just needs done but no one else wants to do. :)

Now to book our baby sitter.....

I'm predicting low counts for this event. Toujours les memes.

so far 7 people.... come on folks, anyone who climbs at cochrane lane on even a semi-regular basis should give back a bit and help out!!

let's see if we can get 20 people in on this.

I'm in. I'm not sure what routes need cleaning, but if someone has a list, I'm happy to pick one.

perhaps we could also use this thread for tracking which routes people think need cleaning and that would receive more traffic if they received said cleaning....

strata factor?

can't be there on the 24th, but the 25th is good for me. I don't know the route enough to pick one, but I am sure someone will find something good for me :)

Exfoliated for sure needs some cleaning. I'd be happy to do chocolate eclaire. it is a pretty nice route at a moderate grade that would probably get more traffic if it weren't so fuzzy. :) Fred did a big chunk of it just by getting the trees off the bottom!

The UNB Rock and Ice club is going to pitch in and cover the cost of brushes. This is a great idea. Can someone give me a line on where to get the best tools for the job?

Also,

I'll take the waterfall layback if it's dry. Who's going to step up and clean Cheekbone!

Hey, I probably will be gone on that weekend since it's my week off from school so that hopefully means the Red. Nevertheless,I will clean thoroughly telefunken sometime in October.

Chris:

There is only one brush for cleaning routes. It's called "The Brush" and it's available from Princess Auto for only $1.99. Out performs the $5 wire brushes 10:1 hands down and reverses as a nut tool for cleaning cracks. Usually they only have a few in store so mail order would be the sure way to get a batch of them.

Yeah this bad boy kicks ass. The only thing you have to watch out for is the handle will slide off after using it for a while. This is not good when you are 60 feet off the deck. I could pick some up for the club the next time I am at Princess Auto if you like. Let me know how many you want.

Yep... that's the one! Just didn't know where they came from. Greg, If you want to pick up say 20 of those bad boys to be safe then I'll reimburse you. Just bring them with you on cleaning day. Thanks.

p.s. Good idea re: choclate eclair. I totally passed on it earlier this year despite having heard glowing reviews. Ever seen the legs from a 1980's east-German woman's wrestler? It looked kinda worse than that.

Perhaps we should see if there's a bulk rate? We could make this an annual event...

I can bring out my drill if there are any climbs that need re-bolting.

I suspect that the Club could get a 'corporate' or 'wholesale' rate if they tried pretty please with cherries on top. One of the exec should just call moncton and find out.

buy a case of them!

Wholesale??? We're talking $40 in brushes aren't we, not buying for North American distribution. You'd likely end up spending more money in long distance calls than 20% you might save on brushes.

Regarding the brushes: 1) Save yourself a trip to Moncton. Those (and a stainless steel version -which I've been using for 3 years on countless routes and is still like new!) are available at NAPA auto parts, which there is in Freddy. The Atlantic distribution centre is in Moncton, so offer free next day delivery to your nearest location. Should be no problem to get 20. 2) I dropped a dollop of one-minute epoxy (from the dollar store) down a couple of the handle holes and remedied the separation issue.




p.s. I will clean Leviathan and if there's time I'll also do Access Denied

Thanks Cory... I'll check out NAPA. I think we'll buy perhaps double what we need given how cheap they are. That's way less than I expected.

Fred, either you or I should clean the overhang-reindeerland linkup we did a few weeks back. It was quite dirty but was very fun climbing.
