For people who say “chalks just chalk” Friction Labs will change your mind. Recently a team of world-class geologists and chemists conducted independent tests on the five most common chalks for rock climbing. The results were clear: Friction Labs chalk is the purest chalk out there.

FrictionLabs was founded by long-time climbers who were frustrated with the lack of options when buying chalk at the gym or local climbing shop. We obsess over every detail when we climb - from shoes to gear - yet we're left with whatever chalk happens to be around when we run out. Not anymore.

Unicorn Dust, Bam Bam and Gorilla Grip are the 3 blends of Friction Labs, they are all chemically developed in the same way so picking one just depends on your own personal preference of the texture.

The Science:

All climbing chalk is made up of a mixture of Magnesium carbonate and Calcium carbonate. When exposed to moisture the Magnesium traps water molecules on the inside of its crystalline structure, leaving the surface dry – ultimately keeping sweaty hands drier for longer.

Many brands out there use Magnesium but Friction Labs have developed a new process to enable an extremely high ratio of Magnesium to Calcium, therefore producing a new level of performance chalk. The proof is in your hands, compare it to your usual chalk and see the difference.

Otherwise, if you're having doubt take a look at the following video for a variety of 'case studies'.
