Mammut Liquid Chalk - 200ml

This stuff works really well for those hard sustained routes that you want to minimalize the time you stop to chalk. For any longer routes it does work well to use as a base on your hands to chalk less.

I have crazy sweaty hands. I've gone through a few hundred grams of chalk in just a couple months without climbing every day. I throw this on my hands first thing and don't have to rechalk nearly as much while i'm on the rock. It's definitely worth the low price if you have really wet hands like I do!

This stuff is great for not being powder, and if you're training anywhere but outside/in the gym (i.e., your living room), this is a huge plus. It might leave minimal residue on your hands, but it doesn't leave dust all over the room. It dries fast and enhances grip even with sweaty hands.

This liquid chalk applies and dries easily on your hands. That said, I don't see much of a difference between this and normal dry chalk in terms of performance.

For those that are set on liquid chalk I'd recommend looking up how to make your own at a fraction of the cost!

I've used so many different kinds of liquid chalk before and this is the best one so far.
It stays in my hands for a long time and this one doesn't smell bad like other liquid chalk.

I like to use liquid chalk as a base layer. I find that it helps powder chalk last longer. I've tried Mammut, Petzl, SoiLL, and Edelweiss, and they all have [very minor] pros and cons.

If I had to get granular about it, I'd say I like Edelweiss the best because it goes on creamy, it doesn't have an overpoweringly chemie scent , and it lasts a long time.

I do like the way the Mammut chalk has a little tab that you can slip a biner (or zip-tie) through and carry on your harness. Aside from that though, I probably wouldn't buy this brand again. It has a somewhat grainy feel to it when you first put it on, and it dries pretty thin—so it doesn't last as long as other brands. It also has the strongest "rubbing alcohol" scent of the brands I've tried (they all have alcohol in them, so there's no avoiding a little bit of that).

All that said, if you're not super picky, go with what's cheap and see for yourself whether you can tell the difference between different liquid chalk brands.

When used correctly it really helps. Apply once before you start your day of climbing and then again about half way through. Note that It is not a supplement for normal chalk but is used to enhance the effect of normal chalk.

I have very sweaty hands and it is nice to use a dose of this at the beginning of a session to get a nice first layer and get some of the oils out of the skin. Works well for this purpose. I only use it as the beginning of a session, wouldnt use multiple times throughout a climbing session.

I boulder 3-4x a week and after a few uses I prefer normal chalk.

Pros
- Dries up pretty fast
- Works like normal chalk.

Cons
- After 2-3 climbs you have to reapply the liquid chalk again
- It's faster putting on normal chalk
- If you apply a bit too much, the chalk on your hand becomes flaky

This is one of my all time favorite climbing products. I heard Lynn Hill once say she always puts it on one hour prior to climbing to help dry out her hands. I totally agree. It's amazing how much it helps keep your hands dry and helps powder chalk stick when you hands just want to sweat it off. My favorite way to use it is on the backs of my hands (and even wrists/arms) when I'm climbing in Indian Creek and don't want to tape up. I never climb without it :)

I really love this stuff! It is great on the warmer days when you really need something to dry your hands out a little bit. This stuff is amazing on long trips as well. If you use it when your skin starts getting thin I swear it saves your skin and acts as another protector against the rock! It is great!

I have been using this stuff for quite sometime now and i would say it's one of the best so far.

I have tried both indoor gym (but mostly) in outdoor crags and this stuff is phenomenal. It leaves a dry hand (if you are sweaty) and even works awesome as base layer too!

I have not tried it yet in DWS but i'll give it a go! The performance is comparable with petzl liquid chalk as well. But kinda less pricey though. :)

Not much to say. It works as good as other brands I have used. It is a little thicker than some other brands, but that makes it dry quicker. Good stuff. Get the cheapest one.

I don't like it for the reason that it was fabricated: it leaves a residue on your hands. Silly thing to not like I know, but I prefer powder chalk. I have used this a few times in CO where white chalk marks on rock is strictly banned- in that setting this is better than nothing.

I used this stuff when I was DWS'ing in Mallorca this last summer. Even after repeated dunks in the ocean, this stuff was still on my hands! I've also used it indoors and it's nice for an hour or two, especially nice when the gym you're in doesn't allow loose chalk.

If you have sweaty hands or its hot outside. This stuff works amazing as an initial base. Use a dab of liquid chalk at the beginning and it will take all the moisture out of your hands for the day. It is amazing.

It helps to clean your hands of oils and grime. It also provides a nice clean base before I chalk up at a climb.
