Less chalk lasts longer with Bison

Pros

Easy To Access Chalk
Extremely Fine Cut
Lasts Long
No Chunks

Cons

Its Not That Cheap

Best Uses

Bouldering
Outdoors
Sport climbing

Comments about Bison Designs Competition Chalk:

Essentially its still only chalk. Chalk wont make you a better climber, though new climbers get a sense of confidence by chalking their hands up. I pour the entire container in a chalk bucket style bag. It stays nicely in the bag and not in the air like a lot of other chalks. Besides that, Its easier to share loose chalk in a bucket than in a ball. Less chalk is needed with Bison chalk so you'll spend less time re-chalking your hands during a fun sport climb, and that is great! Its finely ground also, leaving no chunks in the bag to break up.

My fiancé boulders / I sport climb: We both love this chalk.

Service and delivery comments:

I received the entire package (which included this chalk) a day ahead of the expected delivery date. Which was nice.

Comments about Bison Designs Competition Chalk:

Bought this chalk based on the few reviews here and I haven't been disappointed. It is finely ground which I find works well for me. It is a little messier but I'm not really concerned with having a little bit of chalk on my clothes, it dusts right off.

On the wall it's kept my fingers nice and dry and unless the humidity is outrageous I can chalk up at the bottom of the route and be good to go all the way to the top.

Overall I'm pleased with this chalk and thanks to the amount you get, I should have enough to last me for quite a while!

Comments about Bison Designs Competition Chalk:

I live in Dallas, TX, which means that I am climbing indoors for all but a half dozen or so trips a year. That said, I have been climbing 3+ days a week for 2 years now and would consider myself a very experienced climber. I previously used the standard Metolius Super Chalk, although after going through 2 bags where they messed up the formula and made the chalk almost unusable I vowed to no longer give them my business. Enter: Bison chalk. First of all, the container design makes it MUCH easier to pour into a chalk pot/bag, and as a result less chalk (if any) is spilled in the process. The chalk itself has a consistency similar to flour. Compared to Metolius, it sticks to my hands much better and I don't have to re chalk nearly as often (perhaps 2-3 times as long between chalking.) I'd say you're crazy if you think one chalk will help you perform better than another, but for my money this chalk is a much better value.

Service and delivery comments:

No complaints, picked up at REI store along with other items.

Comments about Bison Designs Competition Chalk:

Iv used a number of chalks and i find this to work the best. Iv used it indoors/outdoors for bouldering sport and top roping as well as on my fingerboard. I feel like i dont have to use as much chalk as i do with other types of chalk

Comments about Bison Designs Competition Chalk:

Chalk sticks well and it's not grainy, so you can use less at a time. Bought this about 8 months ago and I still have a little more than half the container left. I use it indoors and out. Only bad thing is because its so sticky it gets on your clothes easily, but it causes no harm.

Comments about Bison Designs Competition Chalk:

Of all the brands I have tried, I like this chalk the best. It's fine consistency is lump-free; so I just pour it into my chalk bag and go.

The first time I used it, it felt so soft that I thought it might not be as absorbent, but by the end of my climb, I found I preferred it.
