This chalk is as smooth as it comes. Like silk on your hands. At first you can't even tell there's any chalk in your chalkbag; it's like butta'!

The price is right

By Chill

from Blacksburg, VA on 12/11/2007

Describe Yourself:

Avid Climber

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Mountain Gear 2.5 Pound Chalk Special:

Very very fine powder feels like water when you put your hands in it. Definitely some of the lowest quality chalk I've ever used, and definitely the cheapest. Works well in chalk socks. Worth every penny.

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The chalk works fine but is too finely ground. I have found that the slightly more coarse grind works better in all situations.

Super Powdery (no chunks)

By NeeDlzdos

from Pasadena, CA on 8/8/2007

Pros:

Cheap, Fine grain

Cons:

Chalk Spills Out

Best Uses:

Bouldering, Climbing Gyms, Outdoors, Top Roping

Describe Yourself:

12 year veteran, Avid Climber

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Mountain Gear 2.5 Pound Chalk Special:

Great chalk, especially for the price. My only hang up is that it is super super fine, like the dregs of the chalk run or something. It has the consistency of flour. That being said, if you don't like chunks in your chalk then it is awesome. I tend loose more in this form, but it is great to fill my chalk sock.

I would definately buy it again though. Good chalk for the money.

fluffy

By SloTh

from Chicago, IL on 7/9/2007

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Mountain Gear 2.5 Pound Chalk Special:

the chalk is completely pulverized, so expect it to dust away easily. Otherwise the product is very cheap and it works.
