Metolius Super Chalk is formulated with a special drying agent added to the highest quality magnesium carbonate to give you better friction. It's the original chalk designed solely for rock climbing. Try it and feel the difference the next time you're slapping a sloper on an 85-degree day.

dry dry

Maybe I need to wash my hands, maybe I just need to not be so nervous about climbing all the time... Well the bottom line is that my hands sweat like hell and this is the only way i've found so far to fix that problem mid-wall.

Review Title

By:

This is the best chalk for rockclimbing hands down. We go rappeling in south GA where it gets hot and we sweat a lot but this stuff keeps your hands dry and allows you to keep a good grip

Its a little bit chunkier than I would like. I like my chalk very fine, however you can't go wrong with it and you won't be disappointed.

Super chalk!

By:
November 28, 2008

I'm a big fan of this chalk. I've been using it so long I can't imagine using anything else now. It makes my hands more dry than anything I've used previously (bison balls, white gold, etc) and I like the combination of chalk chunks along with the loose chalk. 5/5!

The Product speaks for itself

By:

What more do you expect from chalk? It makes your hands incredibly dry, and is the perfect solution if you get noticeably sweaty hands - like myself. Drys skin, and absorbs sweat making boulder and lead climbing that much easier.

okay so i'm a little neurotic when it comes to chalk

By:
October 2, 2008

I like this chalk a lot, but I have to admit that I custom blend my own chalk - I use this and white gold. I grind both into very fine powder using a hand-held blender and then I mix the two together. I do this because although the drying agent in Super Chalk is awesome, it does more damage to my hands than good when I use it 100% by itself. And White Gold just doesn't stick to my hands as well as Super Chalk and it's also just not as grippey (sp?). But if I can rest frequently then I'm fine with using a higher concentration of White Gold. When I'm going for routes with very few and insecure rests, then I mix in more Superchalk since it also lasts longer.

Yes, I do probably do think about chalk way too much.

Works Well

By:
December 15, 2008

This was the first chalk I ever bought, and the only chalk I've bought since. A little goes a long way with this stiff, which is a plus on longer routes. I mostly use it for bouldering... It has not let me down yet.

Its decent.

By:

I like the blocks of Metolius climbing chalk better I think. It's easy to use too much of this stuff at once, it looks like it wears off quickly, but it actually does keep you dry.

Best. Chalk. Ever.

There is no equal to this chalk. I won't use anything else.
Fun fact: God did not help Moses part the Red Sea, Moses just threw a bag of superchalk in when nobody was looking.

Yengenge' Chalk!

By:
March 23, 2009

Climbing on an tropical island the humidity really gets to you and thus really sweaty hands. This chalk works real well and with no draw backs. Unlike other chalk that make my hands either to powdery which makes my hands slippery or comes off to fast, this chalk works.

Does what it's supposed to. Haven't tried a lot of different chalks, but this is my choice of those that I have tried. Great for bouldering

Super chalk is....well...super!!

By:

Chalk is chalk, right? Wrong! This is by far the best chalk that I have used. No slippage whatsoever. Great for bouldering since it’s already broken down. You can just dip your hands in and climb!

Good chalk

By:

I like the powder. Has little bits in it that you have to break up, but works really well. Provides a solid grip but seems to wear off really quick.

Too many chunks

By:

I really like the chalk, but it seems to have too many chunks and not enough powder. But thats just my opinion.

Pleased

By:

For the most part chalk is chalk. Helps my hands stick. I would say that I'd like it with fewer chunks-- sometimes it seems like I'm wasting more of it when it isn't powdery, as the little chunks in this roll right off my hands. But, I'm overall pleased. Nice big bag saves money and packaging.

chalk

By: Backcountry.com Alumni
May 22, 2008

this does a great job of drying out my hand, drying out my cuticles and making them crack and get sore. It does the job it was meant to do, it seems though to dry my hands out more than my old black diamond chalk. The chalk doesn't stay on my hand as long as other chalk, but I do think it drys that sweat off better than other chalk.

This chalk is really good stuff, it dries off your hand and helps it stick, without ruining your hands for the climbing. The nice big bag will last a while too1

I seem to go through this stuff pretty fast. I don't know if it is the chalk or my numerous incredible sends (jk). This stuff gets the job done for sure. It sticks nice and stays on for a good amount of time.

Typical Chalk

This chalk is typical chunkier chalk. Great buy for a busy climber. I would buy finer chalk for competitions.

I am also a chemist. I have used other chalk in the past and will return to block chalk after I am through with this bag. I have never had sweaty hands, but actually this stuff dries so well I think your skin ratchets up the sweat/oil making your fingers loose grip. I can almost do better w/o it.

Chalk is chalk

By:

I really can't believe how you people buy into these gimmicks. Lets pay $4-5 for MAGNESIUM CARBONATE when u could have payed $1 for a block of the same stuff. Lol drying agent?? I'm a chemist and I'd love to know what Metolius considers a "drying agent." Magnesium carbonate sounds like the only drying agent to me.

Wow I just cant stop laughing at you materialistic fools
