Metolius  Chalk Block - 2 oz.

It's chalk. It works. What more do you want? Buy it.

I'm not a rock climber. I use this for crossfit style workouts at home. It's the first time I've ever used chalk, so I really don't know any better. But it has significantly helped me with pull-ups, toes-to-bar exercises, and prevents the kettlebell from flying out of my hands. it's great as far as I'm concerned.

90% as good as the chalks right next to it but costs literally 10x less

Good cheap chalk. Breaks off like styrofoam into a refillable chalk sock--the chunks of chalk feel good to squeeze, though it can be hard to get out at times and I need to chalk up frequently. I've become a chalk snob (switched to Bison chalk and never going back), but this is a decent alternative and great for introductory climbing.

This is a great chalk product. I appreciate how inexpensive it is, as well as it's versatility. When I want loose chalk, I just grind this up in a mortar and pestle and add it to my chalk bag. It also works just as well in its block form, if you prefer less mess.

Great alternative to expensive weightlifting chalk. Provides lots of grip and prevents a slippery grip when Olympic lifting or kettlebell training. Always seen it in stock, and under $2 for 2-ounce blocks (gym chalk usually runs $10 for 2oz.).

This chalk is great stuff I not only use it when I'm out climbing but when I pole vault to gain extra traction so my hands don't slide on the pole.

Gets the job done for a great price! Enough to comfortably fill two chalk bags.

I mainly use this chalk for keeping my grip when working out. Not for rock climbing as of yet. It does a good job of keeping my hands dry and ready to hold on to equipment as I go through a workout. For the price it's excellent. I'm sure it will be just as effective for rock climbing. If you are getting into working out or climbing I would say it's perfect for a beginner.
