Yep, Tom Cruise climbing in elbow-length vinyl magic sticky gloves.

Didn't Mad Rock have some sticky fingers to wear some time ago? I know they weren't very popular then, but ahead of the game perhaps?

And I'm sure you drive a horse and buggy as well.

There's nothing wrong with innovation. There will still be plenty of 5.9 climbers getting shutdown on 5.11 even though they have some new ultra sticky super sweet shoes.

The free market and it's users will decide what's fair and what's not. I reckon it'll stick to standard issue climbing rubber.

Well, we all know that Sly would kill Tom Cruise in an instant...But maybe he could have used those sweet new sticky gloves in Cliffhanger and changed the story a little bit.

Dynamite fishing is much more efficient than rod and reel. Probably cheaper as well in the long run. We still don't consider that fair. Strip mining is more effective as well. Not that stickier rubber really compares to dynamite or strip mining. Now if the secret ingredient to the rubber was tortured chinese prisoner tears...

then I'd be all for it; especially the ten year olds because they can really get close to the materials on the table; no child left behind and such. Either that or poodles, I'm fifty-fifty at this point.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
