Do You French Blow?

I let go with both hands and clap the extra chalk off then continue climbing, works well for steep routes.

Yes
Habit. And it justifies me wearing my zebra print tights.
Trad, Sport and Creek

Edlinger did it all the way up his run up the wall at the televised Snowbird Comp in '88, thus cementing it forever as a bit of styling.

1. Yes I French Blow...seems that I do it more often when pulling plastic though.
2. Don't know why I started. I feel like I continue to do so just out of habit whenever Im about to pull on a problem
3. Sport, boulder, plastic, some trad

1. Yes, I'll do it from time to time
2. When I'm climbing and my hands start to hurt/sting I think it feels good to get a cool breath on them. It's also to remove any excess chalk.
3. I climb a little of everything, but most recently bouldering at the gym.

You mean like this?

1. Yes

2. Because when I chalk in a way to make sure my whole hand gets covered it usually leaves a lot of excess on my tips, especially if my bag has a decent amount of chalk. Blow or slap the hand on my pants to get rid of the excess, especially on thin face or slab.

3. Rock climbing, Gomer. Crack, face, slab, steep, thin, wide, trad, sport, bouldering.
