A `must have' for anyone living the van life. (tho' a bit of a give-away in the link!)

For those of us who prefer bricks and mortar to staying in a van, this looks fantastic.  (Actually it really does!)

Didn't the heated chalk bag actually become a reality after they were inundated with orders?

I'd buy one for my van if they made it!

Well...the site does allow you to select it and proceed to the checkout, but I can't be arsed enough to set up an account to see if you get all the way through only to be told `Aha! April Fool!!' Give it a go and let us know.

I have, and I've paid for it + postage! No April fool message so far.

I figured that they wouldn't mention all the money going to Alex's charitable foundation as a joke so maybe they actually made some. Worth a punt, especially as if I'm wrong I'm assuming the money will find it's way to the charity anyway.

I may look like a gullible tw*t now, but when I'm parked up in my van, chowing down on scrambled eggs straight from the pan with my Honnold-signed spatula you'll all be green with envy!!! Mwahahahahaaaa!

They credit "Get It Right" for "spatula creation" and it looks like one of these:

And the website says they do custom orders for promotions etc., so presumably Black Diamond got a job lot printed up with logo and signature. If so, top marks to them for follow-through!

Top marks! An `april fool' that `works'. And if its all for charity who can complain. But the very idea did make me smile because it reminded me of sitting next to a young lady at a screening of "Free Solo" who let out a cross between a groan and a sigh when it got to the part with Alex H doing the classis student/single bloke thing of just chucking random food into a frying pan and then stirring it with said spatula.

But there's a who swathe of gullible left-handed folk excluded by BD's rampant pro-dexter agenda
