"Each pouch completely fills my chalk bag, so it is perfect for numerous expeditions."
"If you don't think chalk makes a difference then you haven't used the right kind for you."
"I can't really decide if I like it more or the Gorilla Grip more, but in the end both are great and pretty much the same, this stuff is just a bit more pulverized when you get it."
"After using the FrictionLabs Unicorn Dust chalk, I can't go back to the climbing chalk I was using before."
"But the price is what makes me choose other larger bags before this one."
"Having used it several times on indoor rock walls, I definitely prefer a finer variety that coats the hand a little quicker/easier when you’re in a mid-climb situation."
"It took me months to go through one 10oz bag of FrictionLabs chalk, whereas I'd have blown through numerous bags of chalk from other companies in that time -- and there's less of a slimy feeling on hard slopers."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Chalk shot ("chalk sock" "chalk ball"): this product reviewed is a chalk shot, meaning the chalk is contained within a porous material that allows some chalk to come out when you squeeze or pat the ball on your hand. The advantages of this are twofold: one, you get the right amount of chalk rather than over-chalking which is wasteful; two, since the chalk is contained, it minimizes release of chalk dust into the air, which keeps everything more clean and less irritating to the airways. The main disadvantage of this method is that the chalk does not coat the hand as fast because it's slower than just dipping your hand into a bag of powdered chalk. Chalk block: a block of chalk that you'll just end up crushing yourself and making powdered chalk. Liquid chalk: powdered chalk with some form of alcohol-based solvent; once sprayed on your hand, the solvent will evaporate and leave a chalk coating on your hands."
"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."
"Good chalk for climbing."
"Came with a hole in the back so a bunch of chalk leaked out and the chalk is damp."
"A hefty amount of chalk for a great price."
"Easily my favorite chalk, especially for the price to quality ration."
"I bought this bag when I was climbing 4+ days/week and I still have lots of chalk left."
"This stuff is OK... it has a sort of filmy texture that I don't love."

Find Best Price at Amazon"And being that I like to run Spartan Races, and I needed to strengthen my grip...it immediately caught my attention. I asked this person what he initially thought of this hanging board, and he pretty much sold me on it within a few minutes. While I was waiting for it, I was reading reviews, tips, videos, and instructions. So here is what I personally did when I got home, while waiting for the Metolius 3D Hang Board to arrive. Remember, you need to leave a little room above the board, so you don't smash your head on the ceiling when doing pull-up's from the #1 grip position. Then it was just a matter of waiting for the paint to dry, and for the package to arrive the next day. When the package arrived, I saw that the corner of the box was tore open. When I lifted the box, I immediately felt the Metolius 3D Hang Board shifting around inside. I had already predrilled the holes in the backing board itself, to line up with the "framing members" behind the sheet rock walls. And now that I knew the backing board was the correct size, I got my drill and drill bit, and predrilled the holes from the backing board, and into the framing members themselves. NOTE: Make sure you use a good bubble-level to ensure the backing board is level! One side will be supporting more weight than the other...or you will have funky finger and palm grips. (Military, martial arts, backpacker, bow hunter, obstacle course racing). Because any improvement in the workouts, will GUARANTEE that I am getting stronger hand and finger strength...which is what I wanted. "Black Diamond White Gold" chalk is pretty awesome."
"I advise to buy better screws and mounting boards at it only comes with indoor drywall screws."
"Just what I needed to train for a Savage race and increase grip strength!"
"This is a great board for training at home."
"Very well made, with a lot of options to hang on."
"Our students love this hangboard and it was easy to install."
"As pointed out you need a mounting board and some heavy duty screws to mount it."
"Its high quality and number of grips available cannot be beat."

"These are great for walking on the hard-packed ice that happens in New England after we have several freeze-thaw cycles and all the hiking paths become skating rinks."
"Gripped the ice well, but note, take them off before going inside of course not only to protect your floors, but while they offer traction on ice, they'll actually be very slippery on a tile floor."
"They make me feel safe and secure as I track down my icy sloped driveway here in New England and I have been able to walk my dog on icy trails without any slips or falls."
"We regularly got severe ice storms and all our roads were quite hilly, so for 10 years, all 180 of us tried every type of ice cleats we could find, from very expensive professional quality crampons designed for glacier climbing, to very low budget ones. As a result, we became very familiar with the quality and durability of the different types of rubber used in ice cleats. Unfortunately, as soon as I stretched the rubber of the Stabilicers, my heart sank because the sides were so extremely flimsy, just like all the other rubber cleats we had tried over the years."
