Hi All 

what grain sand paper to people use for sorting out there calluses. Buying specific climbing stuff seam expensive when I can just pop down the hardware store. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers

Emery boards 

I have a strip of 60 and a strip of 120 stapled around a cut off of banister spindle which is ideal.

Using 120 grit as I write this. Works fine for me

B & Q.  Because your worth it.

Or 10 for £3.75 on Eblay

I'd carefully shave mine off with a razor blade when I used to get them.

I have a fine fine and a fine medium.

I've got one of these and it's SO good: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Electric-Rechargeable-Pedicure-Electronic-Waterpro... 

Smooths down rough edges, splits, finger edges etc without any skin tearing. You can also use it on your cuticle when it gets hard and starts splitting. 

Massively recommended over regular sanding. 

The Climb Skin file is an excellent tool and for under a fiver well worth it.

Small and discrete with a beautiful hardwood curved blade and emery on the back for nails and just the perfect grade of sandpaper on the underside (concave side) which eats through calluses and you get new bits with it which you can stick on. The power you get through the curved shape is what makes this tool great, its width is pretty much the width of a finger segment. 

Since I got this I have binned all the bits of tatty emery paper in my bouldering bag for good.

Cheers all for the advice.
