Has anyone ever used rosin instead of chalk ?
It is claimed to be banned in some places but others see it as more environmentally friendly than chalk. Build up on holds is claimed to be a problem.
" I love rosin, but I don't use it for climbing because I feel it gives me TOO much grip. If regular block chalk doesn't do what you want, this will definitely give you more grip. It needs to be warm to be the most sticky, so breathe on your hands or rub them together. I would be careful with rosin: with too much grip you can increase your risk of flappers."
