Why chalk isn’t always enough

Chalk soaks up moisture, and sweaty hands give it a lot to soak up. On a long route or a warm day you’re dipping into the bag every few moves, and wet chalk turns to paste.

How Gamer Grip fits in

Gamer Grip is a chalk-free cream that forms a moisture barrier and blocks sweat at the source. It dries clear in about 15 seconds and leaves no residue. One application lasts up to 4 hours.

Some climbers use it on its own. Others use it as a base layer under chalk, so the chalk they use stays dry and lasts longer.

How to use it

  1. Wash and dry your hands.
  2. Shake the tube and apply a pea-sized drop.
  3. Rub your palms together for about 15 seconds, until dry. Chalk up afterwards if you want to.
