New Product – Sterling WorkPro Static Rope – an entirely new approach to rope construction

Posted on September 11, 2017September 14, 2017 by eewpadm

Chalk is an important ingredient for success or failure and has been relatively ignored by climbers as there seems to be a common assumption that all chalk is the same. 8C PLUS has developed a range of allergen, heavy metals and additive free food grade chalk products that are focused to improve your grip and overall performance during t...
