    Question about my grips?

    I'd think that they'd still be fine to wear, but yes, the smell if probably from the sweat (and possible blood). Not sure if you can wash grips? Is it the actual grips, or just the wristbands? I do wash my wristbands every once in a while

    Fear of falling from beam
