Which brand of chalk is highly recommended?
I'm using chalk from a local "maker" called Barracuda

even better...

I have this brick of chalk and I think it's from Mexico. It has a pistol stamped in it. Anyway, it makes my hands numb and gives me CRAZY energy.

Posted seven days ago, and it's probably only about a dozen links below your thread:

http://www.rockclimbing.com/...d;page=unread#unread

Your answers are within that link.

You really need to add Black Diamond White Gold to the poll. It is very popular.

whatever costs the least and isn't ground very finely (i.e. still has chunks and clumps in it).

I got a chalk bag from a climber in Utah. It had some awesome stuff in it that worked really well but it smelled really bad. Anyway when i ran out i got Bison chalk. It's ok but i might try a different brand next time because it's really hard to brush off of holds and it's a bit to fine and powdery.
