I make it, it works great. I take some good ol loose chalk and mix it with alcohol.. Specifically, the isopropyl type rubbing alcohol, highest alcohol content you can find. I didn't do a special ratio - I just mixed slowly to get the consistency I wanted. I then snagged some old spray bottle from my daughter, like for some play prefume or something), and mixed it in there - so it's airtight/spill proof, and I just spritz a little on my hand. I only use it though when I'm going for a more challenging route outdoors - the added alcohol will dry your hands out worse than chalk alone.

In reply to: you know, I should make some but I dont think they would like it @ the gym..... :wink: why not? it creates less dust then using balls, and you are putting your hands in your chalk bag less. the owner of the gym I go to really like the liquid stuff.

You can find anhydrous isopropyl. I wouldn?t use that. Use the regular drugstore type.

Hello I know this is a bit off-topic, but I have a question: Is really better chalk of the climbing-stores than the one sold in a drug-store? I've always used the second one, as it is a lot cheaper, but recently I have heard some climbers say the other one is much better :roll: Thanks :wink:

some climbing chalk has special agents mixed into for better drying. one more thing. the "climbing chalk" is actualy technical (or basic) magnesium carbonate, approx fromula being 4MgCO3.Mg(OH)2.4H2O. drug store magnesium carbonate is probably pure MgCO3. I dont know if it has same climbing related properties than the climbing one. try it.

hey, ive got a question, is the only difference between the chalk that climbers use and the chalk that gmynasts use is that the chalk that gmynasts use is more crushed and therefore thinner ??? :? and also, is the ONLY reason for chalk is to absorb the sweat and moisture on your hands so that when you climb you do not slip and that you have a better grip......or is there another reason aswell as that one?? thanks

Those are about the only reasons I can think of. Oh, and making those obnoxious little tick marks all over the place.

That to me seems to be the most important step. Ok back on topic .... i was wondering why climbing chalk is so much diffrent from gymnast chalk also. I mean they swing on bars and rings and such so it would seem to me that they are wanting the same no sweaty palms and fingers we try to have. I can see theirs being finer maybe but is there really any major diffrence in their ability to dry your hands, or help with gripping?
