"I'm particular when it comes to chalk... I used (other brands) for years and years, until now. After sampling the gorilla grip, I immediately found my go to chalk. It stays on longer, doesn't crack my skin, and gives me that perfect friction for sticking to grips. Now onward... to climbing more projects!"
