Рет қаралды 6,519
Күн бұрынThe most popular type of chalk is powder chalk but liquid chalk is a growing type of chalk in the climbing culture.
Climbing chalk is a tool used by climbers to prevent them from slipping off climbing holds.
The research behind using chalk for climbing provides conflicting information, however.

I’ve recently got into lifting and everyone tells me to use chalk, but for the life of me I can’t find any science that shows any benefit to actually using chalk for grip strength. I’m glad there is some kind of open debate about it, because I find I grip better without it, and maybe I’m the weird one out.

If the holds are extremely chalky I don't apply chalk; If I do apply chalk the holds feel less grippy. For me I find that there's a certain ratio of chalkiness that provides the best friction. When I do apply chalk it's based on how chalky the holds are and how much chalk is currently on my hands.

I honestly never climb with chalk. Best I've gotten so far is a v7 but my hands don't get very oily tbh. I feel like no chalk really builds your hands for a more rugged feel

That's awesome that you don't get oily hands! I go through chalk on long routes and envy those that don't need it :)
