Anyone else have success creating a new compound of hyper-chalk?
I mixed .5 kg of Metolius Super Chalk with 3 blocks of Flashed Chalk and around 1/2 a pound of Bison (the chalk not the hoofed mammal). I think it works awesome and I was wondering if anyone else has some good chalk recipes?

Are you guys serious, mixing different brands of chalk is sure to be highly dangerous. You never know what secret omgredients might be in each companies mix and then when combined they will most probably react and explode, probably causing you to spill bong water all over your crash mat.
Needless to say, any noobs out there, don't try this at home.

I mixed chalk once. It was a dark and dreary wednesday afternoon. The moon was setting high in the mountains and my sheep was bleeding anally. I had some chalk, and some other chalk, and an old pair of anasazi lace ups. Well I got to thinking, and before long it all ended up in the blender.
I was climbing 12 number grades harder that week, then my sheep healed up and I haven't climbed since.

Followed a friend up the Grand Wall on friday and got completely worked over. I'm almost glad it rained, I would probably have been too sore to climb again this weekend.

Good for you Mark, that route is the reason I started climbing and I still haven't got up it! Probably if you mixed the chalk you are using with some other stuff, you wouldn't have been as tired. You should try it and post the results here!

When you mixed magnesium carbonate with magnesium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, exactly what were you trying to accomplish?

Stealth invents a new secret formula for their rubber and everyone gets all excited.
Someone plays around with new chalk blends and he's a loser in the community's eyes because he doesn't work for Metolius.
Go figure.

i normally take some "gym chalk" and grind it up in a grinder (one with a hand crank and a corkscrew like apparatus which pushes it through the grinding blades. it gets the chalk to almost bison-like texture) ans add some ground up superchalk too. it works really well.

Is there some kind of emergent property?
Does mixing three different brands of milk create a super milk?.... I suppose mixing three bottles of coke with different expiry dates might implode, drenching your dacks.... I dunno about you, but other than tasting like crap, mixing three types of scotch will still get you wasted!

Ah but you see, if you try different types of chalk, they actually have different feels to them. Flashed for example comes in blocks, which have to be crumbled up. Bison, which is pre-crumbled, feels silky smooth and actually makes my hands feel almost as slick as if I had no chalk on in the first place. Finally, Metolius builds a drying agent into their chalk so its not just magnesium carbonate now is it? There's got to be some alcohol or something in there to dry your hands more. So, perhaps not empirically speaking, they are not all the same. Do you disagree? What kind of chalk do you buy? Whatever's on sale or do you stick to a brand?

I mixed metolius super chalk and frankilin white gold chalk to see if how it would work. I like it i sprinkled it in my truck and it got rid of that new car smell. Id say it was a definant success.

He revived his own dead thread! I must say that of all the dead threads that get revived, this one has to be the best... I completely missed it last time around.
Alcohol??? Let me know how I can get some dried alcohol... They should start making flavored chalk so when we eat it to get drunk... it actually tates good.

My name is cintune and I am a chalk-mixer.
It started out innocently, of course, a little White Gold left in the bottom of my chalk bag, a new pack of Super Chalk handed out for free at a comp.
"What the hell?" I thought. "No one will know."
Before long I was mixing every day, sneaking off to the corner of the gym when no one was looking, even stealing chalk from my partners and from perfect strangers, whenever I spotted an unattended chalk bag. I couldn't resist. Just because I knew I could get away with it. Just a little bit to add to the mix. Chasing the dragon.
I didn't think I had a problem. I didn't think I was hurting anyone. But everyone knew. I was only fooling myself.
Don't be a chalk mixer. If you already mix, get help. I did and it saved my life.
