How to choose and use climbing chalk and chalk bags?
Rock climbers need chalk to get a better grip on the rock. Sweat from your hand mixes with the climbing chalk and creates a bond that helps you hold the rope more easily.
The type of
climbing chalk your child wants to practice is a matter of personal choice. Some chalks have a chemical drying agent that absorbs extra moisture. Some climbers don´t like drying agents because they seem to dry out the skin too much. It also depends on what type of climbing you are doing and how much you sweat.
Bags of climbing chalk for kids come in all different sizes, colors, styles, and shapes. You can choose any bag style that best represents your childs personality and taste.
