The Best Climbing Chalk: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Outdoors & Fitness
Friction Labs Loose Chalk (Unicorn Dust, Gorilla Grip, Bam Bam)
Pleasant chalk sold at a steep premium on purity claims the company has not published the test data for.
Why we skip it: The company's own FAQ says all three blends deliver the same grip and that the choice is texture preference.
