Chalk and Chalk Bags

Chalk might sound like something you'll see the next time you go climbing rather than something you use to actually go climbing, but chalk and chalk bags are invaluable accessories for climbers looking to scale a wall or rockface in difficult conditions. When areas of the wall are difficult to grip, chalk is used to absorb any moisture in your hands that may have come from perspiration to make it easier to build up friction and your grip on the wall. Chalk and chalk bags are available right here at GO Outdoors, enabling all climbers to put on a chalk bag prior to their ascent, to prepare their hands for the climb and then top up if necessary depending on the adrenaline, stress and difficulty involved in the climb.
