Got questions?
Liquid vs powder — which do I need?
Liquid dries in seconds and stays put — great for gym sessions. Powder gives fast, full coverage and easy re-chalking. Plenty of climbers use liquid as a base coat under powder.
Is chalk allowed at my gym?
Most gyms that limit loose chalk still allow liquid chalk and chalk balls — both keep dust down. Check your gym's rules.
How does the subscription work?
Pick a chalk, choose Subscribe & Save for 30% off, and it ships on your schedule. Skip or cancel anytime.
Better friction, better beta.
