@@sploo13 you might appreciate this video. Also, Im pretty sure how chalk feels is subjective. So what might not be worth it to you may be to millions of others who enjoy Rungne chalk. ruclips.net/video/QS_-Qks3E7Q/видео.htmlsi=GB-O-pyS-1AjMY2x
hey guys! you totally don't suck at slab haha! nice video, i have been wondering about chalks.. my hands always so sweaty, and tried liquid chalk for the first time and also about to try black diamond white gold! but i guess magnus should be on my list too! thanks for the videos, i love watching climbing content :D
For what it's worth, I started with the standard super cheap Metolius chalk, and then I tried Friction Labs Gorilla Grip, and it seemed to me that the main difference is how fine the "dust" part of the chalk is. The Gorilla Grip just feels softer and smoother in the hand because it's so finely ground. I'm not convinced that there is much of a difference between chalks in terms of actual materials; chalk is chalk. But the processing of it differs a ton. I haven't tried Rugne (yet?) but I'm skeptical that paying twice as much for a chalk is giving you twice the performance.
@@aaron-bieber Yup! Tried it today and almoat no difference! Just finer, but it didnt stay on longer or helped dry more! Cannot justify buying expensive chalk anymore haha Much more value is in brushing the hold! Plus having slippy hands will just force you to find better body positions!
Different qualities of chalk have varying degrees of moisture. The way the chalk is processed makes a difference. Try climbing with lifting chalk some time. The stuff is cheap but it’s not nice.
@@paulgaras2606Unless you're dehydrating your chalk before every application, the moisture level will be whatever the ambient humidity is in its environment.
@@colinthompson7463 you’re not wrong. that’s why when I buy a $30 bag of chalk I put it in a ziploc bag with a desiccant packet and I use a small chalk bucket with what I need for the next couple sessions rather than a big ol bouldering bag. I also have super sweaty hands so that may be why I find such a big difference between old and new chalk and differing qualities.
I got Rungne's about 3 months ago, I can definitely tell the difference between my old chalk and Rungne's, it is hard to explain, but your hands are definitely "stickier" to the holds
I managed to grab a bag from a friend who ordered a bunch of them and i can say it's much better and it stick well to the hands unlike Metolius Superchalk which i find really bad.
@@Forgiveee thanks for the suggestion! The reason I do not do this however is because grades are so subjective. Omitting grades saves me some negative or often "degrading" (pun intended) comments about how a grade at this gym is very different than the (tremendously difficult) gym you go to! I recommend guessing the grades, commenting below, then I can confirm whether that is what this gym graded it!
Tbh while yes, it does feel kinda good, with it's very fine, fluffy texture, it's just not worth the money imo. After trying out a few cheaper brands, rugne and kletterkalk I'll stick with a mix of kletterkalk just because of how you can basically mix your chalk to exactly what you need at that time and you also know where it's from and how it's made, while Rugne only says "Made in China" - whatever that means.. Plus the Rugne store seems to not give a shit about marketing consent and just spams you with mails after your first order and does that fake 48h "limit" on that promo offer you when you follow the QR that's on the yellow slip("Make a purchase within 48 hours to [...]", but it's actually just a promo code that seems to be valid for everyone always). Shady stuff from a non-EU country. I honestly regret giving them my personal data.
Thank you for the insight! Sent you a reply on your other comment that might interest you and make you laugh:) ...or make you call me a hypocrite XD either way works or both hahaha
@@suckatslab Little update on this - i've been changing between a kletterkalk mix(mostly depending on weather) and plain rungne every time my chalkbag was empty and honestly, rungne is just straightup not as good. My friend group tends to use my chalk as well and I never told them when i switch and in this blinded study with N=8 kletterkalk simply did a lot better, while with rungne one of my friends even reported neurodermatitis bursts both times the day after they were using magdust, which, sure, just a singel person, but it's a bit worrying and i'm just gonna stop using it for bouldering. I dunno what's going on with that stuff(I guess if someone had access to the necessary lab or lab equipment they could check) and I just don't wanna accidentally poison/hurt my friends with whatever is going on with magdust.

I love what she said. "Last climb, said every climber ever!"
So true!

Fascinating video!
Chalk is chalk is chalk. Just buy the texture you prefer, preferably packaged in something sustainable like paper.
Active ingredients: chalk 😂

sequence is so fun i pulled a hamstring or glute my last time going cause I couldn't stop climbing lol... out for a month or 2
Enjoyed this one - good job on the slab traverse; reminds me of something we did at JT. Now, let’s work on your Norwegian pronunciations…
Ordering some Magnus chalk.

12:06 This was a pretty fun balance climb. I enjoyed it because its something I haven't seen or done at ROKC yet
This was so much fun to watch! WWMD? What an awesome saying!
Literally was wondering if i should get some of this stuff earlier this week 👍
The audio sounds great!
Woo! Thank you!
Hey, I would suggest putting the grade on the screen so the viewers know what grade you're climbing!

you speak and sound just like alex honnold lol, good vid :)
Wish I could climb like him😂
wonder how it stacks up vs So ill v16, love that stuff
Stay tuned! Another youtuber and I did a blind test on 5 different chalks!
20 pound delivery for me tho :(
Thats a LOTTA chalk hahaha
Hmmm, not a blind test.
Testing methodology is important..
Check out my other video about blind testing 5 chalks... you might get a kick outta it.
Upcoming sherlock sponsorship?
My DMs are waiting
IDK Why it's so spendy since it's made in China
You're telling me Magnus doesnt make this in his basement????
@@suckatslab my brother in Christ, how else do you think Magjuice is made?
