Climbing Chalk
Climbing chalk is made from magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃), a mineral that absorbs moisture and improves grip. It reduces sweat on your hands, increasing friction between your skin and climbing holds, making it essential for both indoor and outdoor climbing.
Climbing chalk comes in three main forms: loose powder, blocks, and liquid. Loose chalk is versatile and easy to apply, blocks are cost-effective and can be crushed as needed, while liquid chalk provides long-lasting coverage and minimal mess.
Dip your hands into the chalk bag or bucket, spread the chalk evenly across your palms and fingers, then blow off excess particles. Avoid over-applying as too much chalk can reduce friction rather than improve it.
Yes, liquid chalk is ideal for gym climbing or competitions as it provides long-lasting coverage with minimal mess. However, it may dry out hands excessively if used frequently, making powder chalk better for regular climbs.
