Cheap (not shit) chalk?
Droyd:
Having worked my way through a pretty massive stockpile of Moon Dust I managed to get cheap a couple of years back, I'm staring down the barrel of finally having to restock and am looking for a better option than buying a 300g bag whenever I'm at the wall and remember I'm running low. Really it'd be nice to buy a good whack of the stuff for relatively cheap.
Metolius is awful, the Beta stuff feels like gravel to me, and I'm not really that big a fan of the plastic-free Moon packaging (great for the environment and all but my house is a bit damp). So, is there an alternative to Moon Dust in terms of a decent balance of quality and price? Has anyone tried the Simond stuff Decathlon sell in big plastic tubs? Is there some gymnastics chalk out there that just happens to be perfect?

I bought a monster 1kg bag of wild country chalk from Outside a while back. I am a Moon Dust fan and this seems equally good, although it still wasnt peanuts, from memory about 20 quid.

Not bought the the stuff in the plastic tubs, but do buy the stuff in the bags. This stuff. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/climbing-chalk-200-grams/_/R-p-130423?mc=8183037
It seems fine to me. Nothing special, but not crap either and pretty cheap. Doesn't bring on any eczema either which other brands have done before. I'm not sure I buy into all the hype about different specialist chalks. It all mostly seems the same to me. Except that unicorn dust stuff which I find horrible. Feels like flour.

What’s wrong with good old fashioned chalk balls & the packaged block chalk from decathlon?
I can come up with at least half dozen facts why I don’t get up problems and routes.

I bought a load of blocks in paper and store them in a tupperware type box. Can have whatever you like then. I like the gravrl chalk for some reason, so cant help you on the which chalk question
