| 0:00.0 | This episode is brought to you by Chalk Cartel. I've been using their chalk for a few years now. |
| 0:06.7 | And now, Chalk Cartel has a new product called the Taco Skin Sander. The taco is made by a company called Crux Climbing in Spain. |
| 0:16.4 | And Chalk Cartel is the exclusive distributor of the taco in the U.S. |
| 0:21.7 | Climbers have been using skin sanders and files for decades, but I've always preferred something |
| 0:27.6 | round. I find that if I use a flat file, I can't really get into the creases between the pads |
| 0:33.1 | of my skin. And those creases are usually when I get bunchy calloused skin that might turn into |
| 0:39.2 | a flapper or a split, a crease split, if I'm not careful. The taco skin sanders perfect. It's got |
| 0:45.2 | this nice rounded, beveled edge. You can use whatever shape on it you want. You can use a more |
| 0:50.4 | flat shape. You can use a more curved shape, you can really get in there and sand |
| 0:54.6 | all the parts of your skin that are rough or torn, get rid of those little nicks and things |
| 1:00.3 | that might catch on the rock, keep your skin looking amazing between every burn. I bring this thing |
| 1:05.4 | with me to the crag, bouldering, sport climbing. I bring it with me every time I go climbing, |
| 1:10.2 | and I use it all the time. |
| 1:11.9 | It also comes with two different grits of sandpaper, which is super handy. You can use the more |
| 1:16.3 | coarse grit to really rough up your skin. I almost always use the fine grit. I actually |
| 1:21.6 | have my taco set up with two pieces of fine sandpaper. You can either have it mixed or matched |
| 1:26.7 | or choose one or the other. |
| 1:28.3 | I like the fine stuff. That's plenty of sanding power for me. I use it all the time. I absolutely |
| 1:34.6 | love this thing. So check it out. Go to chalk cartel.com to pick up your very own taco skin sander |
| 1:41.6 | from Crux and pick up some chalk while you're at it. Again, you can head to |
| 1:46.1 | chalk cartel.com and use code Nugget at checkout for 20% off your next purchase. That's |
| 1:53.5 | chockcartel.com and get ready to join the cartel. |
