This episode is brought to you by Chalk Cartel. I've been using their chalk for a few years now.

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.

And Chalk Cartel is the exclusive distributor of the taco in the U.S.

Climbers have been using skin sanders and files for decades, but I've always preferred something

round.

I find that if I use a flat file, I can't really get into the creases between the pads of my skin.

And those creases are usually when I get bunchy calloused skin that might turn into a

flapper or a split, a crease split, if I'm not careful. The taco skin sanders perfect. It's got

this nice rounded, beveled edge. You can use whatever shape on it you want. You can use a more

flat shape. You can use a more curved shape. You can really get in there and sand all the parts of your skin that are rough or torn.

Get rid of those little nicks and things that might catch on the rock.

Keep your skin looking amazing between every burn.

I bring this thing with me to the crag, bouldering, sport climbing.

I bring it with me every time I go climbing and I use it all the time.

It also comes with two different grits of sandpaper, which is super handy. You can use the more

coarse grit to really rough up your skin. I almost always use the fine grit. I actually have

my taco set up with two pieces of fine sandpaper. You can either have it mixed or matched or

choose one or the other.

I like the fine stuff. That's plenty of sanding power for me. I use it all the time. I absolutely

love this thing. So check it out. Go to chalk cartel.com to pick up your very own taco skin sander

from Crux and pick up some chuck while you're at it. Again, you can head to

chalk cartel.com and use code Nugget at checkout for 20% off your next purchase. That's chock
