Good for home gym

8 years ago

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.

Pretty good

3 years ago

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.

Inexpensive and Dependable

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 weightlifting chalk

13 years ago

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.).

not just for climbing

15 years ago

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.

Cheap but effective chalk.

4 years ago

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.

love it

4 months ago

I love this chalk. I’ve tried several different kinds and brands and I still prefer this one which is extra great bc it’s so inexpensive. I store the extra in a ziplock and break off chunks as needed. I put the broke off chunk in my chalk bag and step on it over and over and mess around d with it with my hands as well. It’s also less messy if you were to forget to zip your zip lock or chalk bag since there will be some pieces that are bigger (or one big piece) and less fine. I like the way this feels on my hands and on rock. I find it works better for me as opposed to the pre ground by the same brand…. The pre ground feels to silky to me whereas this stays on my hands better and keeps them dryer and easier to grip. I use this both indoors and outdoors- bouldering, sport, and trad
