Amazing chalk. Even when it’s hot and humid
Lasts, feels great and doesn’t dry your skin out.

Friction labs chalk is the best chalk
It’s superfine, it stays on your hands, it’s a cool company. What else is there. It is to bread what artisanal sourdough is. If you don’t like artisanal sourdough, you will probably still like friction labs chalk. Unless you like falling with greasy hands in which case, it may not be your thing.

Best shit ever

Great chalk!
Doesn't dry out your hands as much as other brands.
Emma Hopkins said:
Brilliant
Much nicer on my hands than other chalk I have used and it lasts much longer.
Alex Owens said:
Great product
Perfect grip with the Unicorn Dust and some great stickers too

Great grip better than any other on the market
Gives you that extra confidence to lift heavy knowing your not gonna lose your grip on the bar

Chalk matters
IMO FrictionLabs products are the best on the market, I’ve been a climber for 30 years I’ve always been a chalk addicted so pleased to be using FrictionLabs stuff I can not recommended it enough
Frank Honsa said:
Best I´ve used
I only started climbing about a month ago, but this chalk is all I could ever wish for.
michael walton said:
Unicorn Dust - possible ground up unicorns.
greatest chalk known to man! I didn't know whether to climb hard or contact some sort of animal rights group as suspicions are growing that the bag I received is full of actual ground up magical unicorns, the grip is increased and you don't have to constantly re chalk...Awesome product.
Dale Cebula said:
I do believe
I wanted to believe that this chalk was better than the competition, I truly believe it is.

Awesome
I honestly couldn't have expected what Frictionlabs delivered. As a chalk novice, I thought there was just 'chalk'. Frictionlabs proved there is more to your chalk than you think. Couldn't recommend this highly enough.

Gorilla Grip Review
Best chalk on the market, well worth every penny.
Joe Tinker said:
Great
The chalk it's self is really quite good however I brought 2 different types and can't really tell the difference between them except the label but they're still both very good
Lina said:
super smooth and light
Bought Bam Bam the super chunky chalk. It’s so smooth, like no grits or clumps that you get from other branded chalks. It's super light, in comparison to other branded chalks, where it wouldn’t cake your hand, which doesn’t make your skin super irritant by the end of the day, because it became so dry.
Andrew Taylor said:
Worth every penny
Yes, this stuff does cost more than all the other brands, but it's really worth it. I tend to have really sweaty hands, but since switching to Friction Labs chalk the only slippery moments I've had were presents left behind by other climbers, never from my own hands. I've also noticed a general improvement in how the skin on my hands feel at the end of a climbing session. After trying both Gorilla Grip and Bam Bam my personal preference is for the latter - just roll the rocks in your hands a couple of times and you're good to go - I also find that doing it this way seems to be very economical, whereas I tend to be quite wasteful with more powdery chalk.

Best chalk
I have used a wide variety of chalks in my time climbing...the unicorn dust chalk is by far my favorite. Works great and keeps my hands dry!
Christopher Goodrich said:
If only I could keep my hands this dry when I am not climbing
I don't know how much less I am using although I am pretty sure that I do use less chalk, but more importantly, this shit doesn't get all slimy when you do sweat.
Ryan Sullivan said:
Can never go back
Like most, when I started out climbing I didn't care what sort of chalk I used, and would try different products just for the sake of doing it as I progressed. Then I found Friction Labs. Nothing feels better or stays on better in my experience. I've gotten handfuls of friends hooked as well thanks to the periodic gift-giving program Frictionlabs does where current subscribers can send samples to friends. Awesome company. Awesome chalk. Awesome customer service as well - whenever I've had a question or asked to bundle chalk with another one of their products to reduce shipping packaging, they've always responded promptly and helped me out.
For both the quality of product and the people behind it, I am forever a loyal customer and user of Frictionlabs!
Joseph Hamilton said:
From an old school guy
To be honest , For years I figured chalk was chalk,. I would simply purchase the BLOCKS and crush them. Packaging and reading the packaging of Friction Labs chalk produced a curiosity so I gave it a try. It does seem to stay on my hand longer , doesn't clump up on my cuticles nearly as much, and keeps my hands dryer,. So that about the best I can say about the chalk it self , Let me send some props out to the company itself also,. Being a person who works a small business , these people touched me. The blogs, the videos, the email's having a personal friendly tone, plus when I respond to an e mail one is sent back in a timely manner and is personal. Customer relations is a big thing in todays world and these folks have that dialed in. I for one will keep crushing with friction labs chalk as my go to chalk.
Chris Jones said:
One of the Best Decisions I Have Ever Made!!!
This deal is going to work out beautifully for me! I subscribed to Friction Labs' monthly renewal delivery of 7.5 oz. of Unicorn Dust (which is the best chalk EVER), and I am finding that this is one of the best deals around - I get my chalk and my discount, and Friction Labs gets to send me some of their Unicorn Dust chalk every month! Win-win!!! I will not run out of high quality chalk and I will not have to worry about when to order more when I get low - it is all taken care of! Ah, what a relief... I think I will go climbing now!
Jennifer de Groot said:
High quality, makes me happy to climb!
Friction Labs chalk is the *bomb*. Its such high quality chalk! It helps my hands last longer when I really need them too. I love the feeling of rubbing the smooth chalk between my hands and swelling with the confidence that I can send what I need to. I have the monthly 20% auto-renew 2.5 oz subscription for Unicorn dust; its the perfect amount to get me through a month, and the price is unbeatable. Annnnd just about every new order comes with stickers! As a sticker junkie I relish opening up a new box of chalk every month.
Benjamin Carlin said:
Amazing Chalk! In all Ball in the Gym and Loose Outside!
Our gym doesn't allow loose chalk, and the chalk balls available at the front desk just weren't cutting it for me... I had one of the staff recommend me to unicorn dust and a retired sock as a superior alternative. I actually have people come over and ask how my hands are so thoroughly coated, and if they can try it out. Great product, I recommend it all the time. Plus they usually toss in a great sticker with your order. :D

Send Harder!
I used a friends FrictionLabs outside working on a V13 at pikes peak and was able to stick the crux move on the V13. The following week, I purchased my first bag of FrictionLabs clack and went back to Pikes Peak and was able to send! This was my first V13 send and my first time using my own FrictionLabs chalk... Not saying that it was the only reason I got the climb but I will say that I will continue to use FrictionLabs!!
chris snow said:
Magic stuff really works
Tried out the new chalk cream the other day. It's pretty great. Lasts nearly an entire bouldering session.
Andrew Westerhoff said:
Is it effective?
When I first bought and used this chalk I was kind of skeptical about it and when I first used it I was wondering how it was any different than the metolious block chalk that I could buy for maybe $2 each. Even when I first used it, I didn't really notice the difference until I went back to my old chalk. If you are on the edge about buying it, I would go for it and personally I love it, however if you try it and you don't like it it is just opinion. Opinion is all any of these reviews can tell you, and sure if something has better reviews you may buy it. Don't like the chalk because others liked it, like or dislike it based on your opinion. I hope this helped.
Aron said:
Worth it
If your not using friction labs chalk, ask yourself why? Do a test for yourself, next time you go climbing use a chalk bag with your old chalk and a second one full of friction labs, go crush. You'll see the difference!
Collin Crawford said:
This chalk...
Plan and simple, it's the shit!!

Love this stuff
Lasts longer than any other chalk I've used and gives me more confidence on tiny crimps and slopers

Get the best and ditch the rest
Ever dreamt of becoming Spider-Man and climbing up the sides of buildings? Well, you're on the right path! Borderline super hero chalk, I'm pretty sure Captain America uses this stuff. This amazing white powdery substance is the best of the best! Wait, what were we talking about again?
Thanks Friction Labs!!
cody brys said:
Real good
The best chalk I've ever used for sure! Worth the price.
Grant Templeton said:
I see the hype
I've been climbing for eight years and never thought much of the chalk I was using. A buddy told me about Friction Labs and from that point on I can't go back to normal chalk. I couldn't believe how much of a difference it would make in my climbing but It's night and day. I'll be using friction labs the rest of my climbing career.
Sean Kirby said:
Amazing
Every since I've started using friction labs. My hands have been sticking to the wall like glue. This chalk is truly amazing and is 100% worth it.
shawn stanhope said:
Thank you
The product I received was amazing and much needed while on my current deployment to Africa, I will definitely be asking for more in a few months since we don't have any chalk here.
Thank you
Annalisa Deal said:
Only Chalk I Use
I love Friction Labs. The chalk is amazing. It feels good on my hands and works better than any other chalk I've tried. Now that I've started using it, I can't stop and go back to other chalks. It's my favorite. It's also incredible easy to order, and arrives promptly. I love everything about it.
Jason L said:
Great chalk
4 stars based on the $$$ necessary, not on the quality of the chalk itself which is a 5 star product. Find the need to chalk less, feels better on the hands and in short kicks a$$. I bought the middle grade of chunky, and feel like i'd have preferred to buy the Unicorn Dust.
Cody Jones said:
Good But communication from company can be better
As far as I know I was not given any warning that the price for my product went up. The product is great but it would have been nice to know of price changes ahead of time.

annie said:
It stays on my hands!
I used to think, "chalk is chalk." Unicorn dust proved me wrong! With normal chalk, almost all of it would come off on my first hold. Unicorn is fine enoug to stay on my hands and I love the silky smooth feeling
Traci Sundberg said:
Perfect Gift
My son won't use any other product! This is my go to birthday gift and stocking stuffer! Thanks for making ordering so easy!
Cameron Jaeger said:
Friction Labs Chalk
Got this order super quickly! Love doing business with you guys and the chalk really does make a difference! Even though I am an ambassador and could get this chalk for cheaper without the subscription I like being able to help out and spend a little more for the subscription! Thank you guys! You do a great job!
Anthony Mustello said:
Hard in the chalk
Impressed.
Simple as that. This chalk seems like it's magnetic. Just feels different on your fingers. I find my friends dipping into my chalk every time I turn around. Great grip, love breaking down nugs into my fingers. Keep crushing
Patrick Jerome said:
I am super happy with the chalk and the tank top is great.
I am a 5.12 climber, not a 5.14 climber so I can't say I can discern this chalk from Metolius SuperChalk but its at least as good.
Josh said:
Gorilla grip
Frictionlab chalk is the only chalk I will use. From the first time I slapped it on my hands I knew it was going to be great. Coats my hands well, stays on longer then any other chalk i have used.
I give frictionlab chalk an A+
Josh Bennett said:
Gorilla Grip.
I have been using Gorilla Grip for a little over a year now. At this point I use only Friction Labs for chalk. Some of the things I like about it are how long you maintain that dry barrier between you and the rock, it still has small chunks for ticks when you need them, and the feel. There are some other brands that develop what feels like a layer of slime on hot humid days. This does NOT seem to be an issue with the Friction Labs. I love the stuff, I use it, I recommend it!
Andrew Spalding said:
Dope Chalk
This chalk is dope. I don't need as much of it, it feels good, breaths good, and climbs good. Use it. Use it a lot. Climb on.
Drew Jones said:
The Chalk to End All Debate
There is only one chalk in my life now. I had taken whatever I could get at my gym whenever I ran out and did not think much of it. Chalk was just chalk after all. Well, not so much. Friction Labs has taken a huge leap forward in the manufacture of chalk and the results are in my chalk bag, on my hands and in my sends. It makes me a better and more confident climber...end of story. This was highlighted for me when I bouldered at a gym in another city and rented a chalk bag...it was complete drag. Never leave home without it.
Oh yeah, and subscribing for chalk if totally cool...I don't even think about it it just arrives.
Jonathan Lamphere said:
Gorilla Grip
Basically the only chalk I've used since I began climbing, why change from something that's already perfect, right?? The ease of subscribing to get refills of GG is only icing on the cake.
Nick R. said:
UNICORN DUST!!!
I love this stuff! After a hard bouldering session, trying out my unicorn dust sample, its the only chalk i want to use. It never comes off your hands! RIDE THE UNICORN!!!
Jeremy Balise said:
Literally Exactly What You Expect
Ordered 10 oz of Gorilla Grip. Used it for a couple of weeks now. Previously used chalk from Metolius w/a drying agent. GG doesn't dry out my hands after climbing and there's no appreciable difference in climbing level, which is a net improvement. Logistics of ordering were seamless and product arrived on time free of defects. Company marketing is a little too hyper-targeted at the Youth of Today for my taste, although I appreciate that the company/product is both better AND different in terms of P.O.V.
Kirk Huismann said:
Best Chalk Ever
I have been climbing for well over 10 years and this is hands down, the best chalk you can get. If you have not gotten some already, I would highly recommend grabbing some. I Just recently switched my monthly subscription from unicorn dust over to the Magic Chalk Ball which is pretty amazing as well.
Brian McCully said:
Good Stuff
You can Feel the difference
Drew Hayes said:
SICK!!!!!!!!!!
I accidentally ran out of Friction Labs and had to buy a block of the old stuff to hold me over (you know what I'm talking about). I definitely missed the way Friction Labs chalk sticks to my hands for longer. Luckily it wasn't long before the old chalk ran out and FL was back in. I immediately started climbing two grades harder and my forearms grew bigger than my biceps. Thanks Friction Labs!
John Matney said:
I'm a believer!
The semi-famous Kathy Karlo turned me on to Friction Labs 4-5 months ago and since then, I only use the Friction Labs Gorilla Grip chalk. Love the chunks! It stays on longer, is stickier and is just cooler than those other brands. I like it so much that I bought two, not just one Friction Lab tee shirts so I can show everybody how much I like your product!
Eric Moore said:
Made the change and never going back
I can't complain. Having chalk delivered to my home even when I don't need it is awesome. Tried Unicorn Dust and love it!! It stays on my hands longer and keeps them super dry.
Noah Kupcho said:
Amazing Chalk
When I first heard about Friction Labs I was stoked on the branding and marketing alone, but it wasn't until I received my first bag that I realised how much better Friction Labs chalk is compared to all other chalk. While climbing, out of habit I would reach into my chalkbag and chalk-up, but I soon realised I didn't need chalk as frequently and would be able to climb much longer without chalking up.
Tyler Graim said:

Great Chalk, stays on way better than other brands. I went from Black Diamond to Friction Labs and you can definitely tell the difference. Gorilla Grip is King.

Gorilla grip
I have sweaty palms, so when I would bench sometimes my hands would slip a little to the side. I tried gloves but they did t last long. Went through three pairs already. I actually heard about this brand through my friend. He likes the unicorn dust. It's a good product and the packaging is the best I've seen.
Firdaus Ismail said:
Gorilla Grip
I have sweaty palm and the weather here in Singapore is unforgiving. I tried different brand of chalk and noticed that I need to chalk up everytime i climb. As for Friction Labs chalk, I realise that i spend lesser time chalking up and more time climbing. My hands are drier. Awesome chalk!
