I have been climbing for a short while and loving it. Now that I've gotten a fair bit of practice with indoor climbing I'm thinking about where this new love of mine can take me. The obvious answers are bouldering and leading outdoors but I've also seen some videos on deepwater soloing.

When I saw these videos I always wondered, what happens to your chalk if you take a chalkbag with you and fall? Do you need to throw whatever chalk remains out after a fall deepwater soloing?

When you fall into the water with a regular chalk bag, it will get too wet to be used. Some solutions to this include,

• 
  Using liquid chalk, it supposed to stick for longer and you can spread extra on your forearms/legs to rechalk up.


• Multiple chalkbags/extra chalk so that while one bag dries out you can use a new one.


• Leaving the bags in the boat and using the chalk on your hands before you start.

  All the deep water soloing we used to do we just chalked up at the start and saw how far we could get. For all the climbs (up to about 80ft) it was sufficient

The sea terrifies a lot of people, and rightly so, minor accidents can quickly escalate out of hand. Having someone with local knowledge of an area can be a big advantage no matter how many hours you have poured over the guidebook. I am asked quite a lot at the Climbing Unit or by clients coming to me for instruction via UptoSummit what equipment they should take with them on their summer trip
