Jeff Parker Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Where is the best place on the internet to get some chalk from? I used to buy locally from an REI, but all of their new stuff actually made things slicker than just dry hands and I just used the last of my old stuff from them. Any suggestions would be helpfull!

Jackals Gym Wade, would I be able to order a gripper from your gripper superstore and have you add on the chalk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been kicking around the idea of adding chalk to the Gripper Superstore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'd like to add that I have never had a bad experience with Jackal's. I've never actually heard of a bad experience with them to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually heard of a bad experience with them to be honest. Except for when they send letter-bombs. But that's rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f31roger Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I used to buy locally from an REI, but all of their new stuff actually made things slicker than just dry hands I felt that too. I just thought it was me. i was bought some and started to train with it at the gym and it felt even worst than my normal grip. i havent used it yet for indoor climbing (intended use now).. but i usually boulder without powder.

climber511 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Metolius Super Chalk has a drying agent in it as well - seems a bit better on the hot summer days or if you sweat quite a lot - it's all I use for climbing. No big deal for most people in normal temperatures in a gym but it is a very good chalk. Their Eco Ball is a chalk alternative that's nice if you sweat a lot too. Their Chalk Sock does help keep the mess down. And as you guys have found out - all chalk is not created equal - some is slicker. I am surprised REI has that though.

Guest Bullitt Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I use stickum for all my grip feats. It has really helped my 2HP and axle DLs. Would probably help with the rock climbing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to give that a try Mike! I've got a tin of pine tar in the closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I would suggest Super Gluing your hands to them! Only for a PR! If you are forced to carry your 2HP around all day, you might as well make it impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwdutton Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I would suggest Super Gluing your hands to them! Gorilla glue might hold a pr better!! Screw it.... Why not some chalk, gorilla glue and some stickum? Gotta make sure you don't lose your grip!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
