Wet Or Dry, Take Your Pick.

If you were counting paper/working your way through paperwork, chances are you'd wet your finger/thumb to help you gain a grip.

Gymnasts and indoor climbers use French Chalk, normally, to reduce the moisture on their hands. This to help maintain their grip.

Two seperate, but opposing methods to help improve the grip. Which do you use?

Wet for paper, dry for grappling with a gymnast.
Miss Goodbody is rather taken with the idea of a rubber finger.

So can water.

So can water.

I find water tends to clean itself up if used in very small quantities, where as powder goes all over the place. In truth they both have their uses. Mind you I spend more time with paper work than I do climbing walls, so that may influence my choice.
