What is Climbing Chalk?
Climbing chalk is used by rock climbers to improve their grip. When climbing on warm days, a climbers’ hands can become sweaty, causing him to lose his grip. Chalk absorbs the moisture from the skin, therefore strengthening his hold on the rock. Climbing chalk can be found in the form of loose powder, or a chalk ball. The chalk is stored in climbing chalk bags around the climbers waist, for easy access.
