Climbing Addicts

A day of climbing followed by food, fire, friends, and flashlight tag (by the littles) under the Milky Way. Couldn’t ask for a more perfect day!

First reorders of the year go to and ! Reorders make us SO psyched because they show 1.) there’s a demand for our chalk and 2.) you are all out there supporting local businesses. 🙌

We’d love to know where you’re using or buying our chalk. Please tag us in your posts or stories!🧗‍♀️❤️🌎

The days have been dark and cold. I thankfully don’t have seasonal affective disorder like many people who live in this area, but days like today make me feel gloomy all the same! I’ve been missing this view, the feeling of real rock, and the *quiet* peace I feel up on a cliff. Someday, I hope, we’ll have the financial freedom to travel to warm climbing places during the winter! But in the meantime, I’ll look at pictures and visualize my happy place. -Alyssa

P.S. Our gray chalk works beautifully in areas of the . Help .official out by leaving no trace! Use chalk that blends with the rocks (or brush away your white tick marks), pick up your trash, and be a respectful human.🫶

📣 Introducing Sea Water Sourced Chalk! 🌊

Did you know that the mining of magnesite (from which climbing chalk is made) causes tons of pollution? If you didn't, published an article by Bradley Allf called "The Hidden Environmental Impact of Climbing Chalk" that goes over the process of how magnesium carbonate is made. We encourage you to look it up!

The article describes how the mining and processing plants affect a small province in China, where about 70% of chalk is produced in the world. White smears cover the landscape and buildings, and as an added punch to the gut, magnesite mining has adversely affected trees and crops in the region.

This is all for WHAT, exactly? So rock climbers, gymnasts, and weight-lifters can feel a little more secure while trying hard?!

We've always claimed to be an eco-conscious chalk company because of the way our chalk "leaves no trace" and reduces visual impact on the rocks. That's still super important (obviously!). But the fact that mining causes so much pollution has never sat well with us.

This is why we are proud to announce that we are the first United States company to be using sea water sourced chalk! 🥳👏

Our chalk's journey starts with magnesium hydroxide being sustainably extracted from the sea. Carbon dioxide is then added. The result? The purest and most effective form of magnesium carbonate on the market. There are NO impurities in our chalk... just 100% sustainably sourced magnesium carbonate from sea water with 100% naturally derived minerals for leaving our rocks beautiful. And now, you can chalk up in peace, knowing that our company is NOT contributing to the pollution problem on this planet! 🌎

By being our customer, you are supporting a cleaner environment AND reducing visual impact at the crags. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!

There’s nothing like the magic of the first snowfall.✨ Micro-adventuring with the girls this morning included climbing up (and sliding down) slippery ravines, balancing across logs, and bushwacking. I didn’t have to carry anyone and there wasn’t too much complaining… 5 and 3 are GOOD ages! We’re building up stamina and resilience for those crag hike-ins one day at a time. 💪💕🧗‍♀️❄️
