Metolius Bouldering Bucket w/ Brush and Chalk - 2007 BCS

This chalk bucket has the ability to hold a lot of chalk, and the large opening makes it easy to get your hands in and out of. also the pocket on the side is great for hold your wallet keys or cell phone while you climb.

I have been pleased with this package. I too have to agree that it needs to have a little weight added to the bottom to keep it from wanting to tip over. I like the brush, The normal and the thin bristles on opposite sides clean a wider variety of holds.

great design very large opening, nice closer, nice accessory pockets, had to add some weight to the bottom to make it more stable

This bouldering bag set up comes with everything you need when getting started. The yellow is easy to see when out at the crag (less likely to leave it behind) the brush works well enough, and the chalk is the kinds I always use.

Cons-The brush is small, you are going to want to get something bigger as well. The way it closes up leaves you shooting a stream of chalk out the top like a whale blow hole ( insert funny joke here) which gets all over your other gear. I started with this bag and was happy I got it, but have since moved on.

just beware about the random colors..i expected orange, black, or lime like the pictures showed in the pool of possibilities; however, what showed up was about as girly as you can possibly get - a bag covered with pink, white, and purple flowers. In no way is it even close to neutral looking. I have to say I am not at all happy about the print - I guess it motivates me to work harder on designing my own chalk bags. But right now I'm basically the laughing stock everywhere I go, or I get weird looks and people (other guys) keep their distances from me fearing that since I ended up with a flower power chalk bag I must be gay and therefore about to hit on them.

Actually it's not the worst, Its a great icebreaker with the ladies...or I just tell people it's my girlfriend's who climbs V10s and is in Rocklands at the time racking up the V10 FAs, that usually shuts people up.

Functionality speaking, the bag is pretty sweet, with a pocket on the bottom to add stuff to weigh it down, or for your stash. There's also another pocket on the side that easily fits clippers and tape, then of course room for two brushes. The M-16 brush is great but looses tension like most brushes after a couple months...i still would take it over anything else on this site. As far as the super chalk is concerned, I don't like it...I have my reasons, none of which will fit into a few sentences.

Peace

This bag is big and great for group bouldering with friends, especially at the gym. It feels great to dip your hands into this monster, and if your hands sweat like mine, you'll appreciate the complete coverage you get. Kinda big though (size of say, a can of paint)... but I guess that's the point!

This chalk bucket is awesome for bouldering! It's great for when you are with a group of people too. I use it just about every weekend when I going bouldering.
