Brushing holds after using them is one of the fundamental rules of proper crag etiquette. In this video Alexander Megos takes this concept to another level, brushing each hold immediately after having touching it, during his redpoint ascent. Note the German is not on any old route, but on an 8c (possibly 8b+). Check out the footage of the first "brushpoint" of Father and Son in the Frankenjura ;-)
