Maxime: Le Black Diamond Chalk est tout simplement indispensable pour mes séances d'escalade !
Sa texture fine et sa qualité supérieure offrent une adhérence parfaite, améliorant considérablement ma prise en main. J'apprécie également sa capacité à réduire la transpiration de mes mains, ce qui me permet de grimper en toute confiance. Le format de 200 g est idéal pour l'emporter partout avec moi. Je suis conquis par ce produit et je le recommande vivement à tous les grimpeurs à la recherche d'une meilleure performance et d'une expérience d'escalade plus agréable. Black Diamond a vraiment fait du bon travail avec ce produit, très bon rapport qualité / prix.

Penny APenny A: Chalk feels great and no complaints about the actual product. However, when I opened my Amazon package, chalk was everywhere. Thankfully only like 1/8th was spilt inside, but still pretty frustrating.

I. C: I climb around 7a to 7c on a very good day. Lots of chalk is over priced. This is excellent for training.

Don't be a snob just because it's has a funky name or animal on the packed!!

kev: Great chalk for climbing and lifting. In the 300g bag, it's got both large chunks, and the broken down fine powder. The mouth is large enough for one hand, though maybe not two unless you have small hands so I'd say pour it in your chalk bucket instead if you like getting it on with two hands. A little pricier than I'm used to at $12, but I usually just buy the flashed 2oz blocks for $2-3 and break it up on my bag. I will say though, from the black diamond store itself, the 300g sells for $10.95, but an extra dollar for 2 day shipping is worth it to me.

Comparing the two, Flashed for the value works great, and does the trick. Black Diamond though, does seem to leave a better layer on my hands, and actually feels a little stickier. Worth the price IMO, but since I'm cheap, I'll probably wind up mixing the two a bit for gym use.

John H.: I have been using this chalk for a few months now at my local bouldering gym and it has performed admirably for me. It sticks to my fingers well, it provides excellent grip, and in the 300g bag, it is very cheap. I use a lot of chalk and I have probably only gone through 1/3 of the bag.

I will note that this is a pretty chunky chalk, which I like, but some others may not prefer. My climbing buddy complains that this chalk isn't as soft as the chalk he uses. My response to that is that if you are performing an activity that involves grabbing and applying your full weight to hard, rough surfaces for an hour or two, how is the softness of the chalk even a concern? I just break the crumbles up with my fingers, which actually helps coat my fingers better, in my opinion, and I am good to go. I also think it is handy when I get a large chunk into my chalk bag, because I can just rub it gently between my fingers and chalk up without making my hands a sloppy, dusty mess.

Basically, this stuff is chalk, and does exactly what chalk is meant to do in this context. I will probably buy this same product next time I need to refill.
