When we talk about "the best" climbing chalk, the aspects to take into account are many: of course, we start by considering how dry the humidity of our hands - but also of the holds - to pass then to the homogeneous coverage the skin and how much dispersion occurs with each use. All this while always keeping an eye on both the sustainability of the packaging and the perfect balance between quality/ price.
Using a good climbing chalk allows optimal control of the sweating of the hands and an exceptional seal even on the most flared. Indirectly, knowing you have a great product on your hands can give us that extra confidence in the ability to hold a grip that is sometimes the missing piece in achieving our goals. That’s why we want to recommend five brands that offer high-quality magnesite and interesting offers!

Let’s start with a product of the highest quality: Golden Rock climbing chalk is produced with magnesium from the Dolomites and its purity is undeniable! The sizes are among the most varied that you can find: do not miss the 100-gram mega ball or the 450-gram chalk powder bag! The price, generally already excellent when compared to the quantity, becomes even more convenient if you choose multiple packages of liquid, balls or bags of chalk powder!
Beal’s liquid chalk is phenomenal both in the gym and on the blocks, where you can use it as a first layer in combination with chalk powder. Especially suitable for the smoothest and hardest grips, it will be your ally in emergency situations! Its price becomes super advantageous in packs of 3, 5 or 10 pieces.
Specifically designed for the heroes of the crag, Mammut offers its climbing chalk of the highest quality perfect to keep the optimal grip on your hands for a long time! The powdered magnesite and the liquid have now been joined by the balls and the vintage Collector Box with 230 g of chalk!
From the United States comes the excellence of climbing chalk, with a line of products that has conquered the hands of many top climbers! Its purity is unique in the genre and will leave your hands incredibly dry for a long time: those who try it, never change it anymore, despite the price is a little higher than the others. It now comes in a fully recyclable packaging.
Always alongside the high performance, CAMP offers a brand new line of magnesite that bears the name of Chalkemy and that offers an extremely high range of products. The raw materials used for making magnesite are allergen-free and magnesium carbonate is made from the highest quality minerals. Last but not least, the packaging of magnesite powder or blocks is made from 100% recycled materials and is itself recyclable!
