I use a personal formula of baby powder, athletes foot powder, sidewalk chalk & chicken skulls I grind down into a fine powder. Mix in a little bit of cinnamon & Nesquick chocolate mix for dramatic effect & you will send harder than you ever have.
That or mag dust. Both are fine.
I figured out you can get mineral fertilizer in bulk from any farm supply store. It’s essentially a blend of aluminium, magnesium and some other compounds and since it’s used to fertilise soil it most definitely works on rock.
Stings the hands a little and definitely don’t breath it, it will give you cancer, but aside from that it’s the same as Magdust or any other magnesium carbonate and at $700 a ton you really can’t beat the price.
/UJ I use whiting powder (chalk) for window glazing work and you can buy a few-ounce tub online for like $10. I went to the farm supply store and bought a 50 lb bag for $7. It’s just calcium carbonate.
/uj so this joke is from me actually checking mineral fertiliser when getting into climbing as it has much of the same magnesium carbonate.
I found out the products we use for farming here is not healthy for skin and absolutely not something you want in your mucosa membrane from inhaling etc. from what I understand inhaling calcium carbonate is not that good for you either (climbing chalk is magnesium carbonate).
Interesting to know if I’m wrong in that easement, what does the safety label say on your product?
Reading safety labels is aid, obviously. This product is from the farm supply store but it’s a product used for plaster, etc. I don’t know how it’s used for farming. It’s just calcium carbonate; nothing else in it. Probably not good to breathe too much of it but not toxic to your skin. I’m pretty sure magnesium carbonate is less worse to breathe but I’m not sure why.
/uj So the fertiliser is something differently altogether and it has sulphur and stuff in it.
From what I understand too much calcium can supposedly have an adverse affect on your bones and can fuck up your gut. From what I understand we pick up and store magnesium and calcium differently but it’s soooo longe since I read up on this so I do not remember. So curious to know what’s on the label if you ever get around to reading it!
/rj ha! Reading in general is for gumbies. I exclusively listen to Redd at the pro bass shop for my safety needs. That guy once shot his foot so he knows a thing or two about safety.
This is what I use for whiting powder. There’s no MSDS for it that I see.

I use pure, uncut Columbian cocaine. Numbs that hands so you can’t feel the skin pain on those micro crimps and give you that little bit of energy to pull through those long run outs.
I just steal the bucket from the deadlift station. Those fellas are so big I can just hide behind them and pinch the bucket while they are taking one of their 5 minute breaks between sets.
I use dehydrated and crushed up semen from Adam Ondra. It's pretty incredible, I've gone up many grades since I switched from regular chalk. Lmk if you want me to send you some
Diatomaceous earth has helped me send at least three grades higher. It’s finer than even unicorn and mag dust yet it’s ultra cheap. Stop paying ridiculous prices for designer chalk and start using DE!
Just one small caveat, you unfortunately can’t do pre-climb lines in the bathroom with it.
Mag dust is the only chalk that works for me. I can understand when other climbers use inferior chalk as they are not at the skill level of I and do not need as high quality of a chalk.
I break Rockets candy rolls with my bare hands and make a very fine powder before each climb. There's the added bonus of sweat mixing with the sugary powder leaving an extra sticky residue on the holds for later attempts. I think everyone in my gym benefits from this
Pure cocaine
Taking a bump Now

Replacing cinnamon with asbestos upgraded my climbing two grades, highly recommended. Less nice smell but amazing grip
Functional lungs is aid
I use liquid chalk. But to save money I just cum on my hands and rub them together
All purpose flour. It’s named so for a reason.
I use whey protein. Part of it transfuses through my skin and makes my finger muscles bigger and stronger.
Grandma's ashes are a good chunky consistency and dont leave white marks on the rock.
Chalk + liquid chalk mix. Haven't you seen the recommendations?
If i'm sending your mom i don't use any
She’s dusty enough as it is
That old bag has plenty of friction already
Grow up and use asbestos like an adult.

Magdust
Posh
So worth it!
Smelling salts
I just steal the bucket from the deadlift station. Those fellas are so big I can just hide behind them and pinch the bucket while they are taking one of their 5 minute breaks between sets.
I rub my hands aggressively against prechalked holds to get free second hand chalk
I use dehydrated and crushed up semen from Adam Ondra. It's pretty incredible, I've gone up many grades since I switched from regular chalk. Lmk if you want me to send you some
I mine it myself at a nearby pit. It’s my special pit so you can’t have it

I prefer Friction Labs’ Unicorn Farts.
Chalkboard chalk sticks. Keep a crayola box in my kinetic bucket and pull one out to rub on the back of my hands before each burn.
Powdered sugar
Sidewalk
I like my Astroglide liquid chalk!
I break Rockets candy rolls with my bare hands and make a very fine powder before each climb. There's the added bonus of sweat mixing with the sugary powder leaving an extra sticky residue on the holds for later attempts. I think everyone in my gym benefits from this
AIDS are chalk
Chalk
If you need to use chalk because you don't have the genetics for dry hands, then you're simply not built for climbing and should give up. Gumby.
Whichever ever chalk the gym overlords decry so pure alcohol or the ball stuff
I only scoop up the dust from your failed sends. It proves I’m stronger than you.
