The materials or ingredients can be altered in a lab or manufacturing plant, but they always originate in farms or mines. ⏹️ STOPĪll the materials that make up all physical products are either grown or mined. The process of chalking up for a climb starts long before we ever reach the crag or climbing gym. And the process of making that bag started long before that.

The full impact of climbing is a much bigger, much broader conversation for another day. Note, this article doesn’t cover the full environmental impact of rock climbing, just the impact of using chalk. Then I’ll “PLAY” the video again until we reach the next impact. Throughout the article, I’ll repeatedly “STOP” the imaginary documentary video to show you where and how the environmental impacts of chalk pop up. To demonstrate the environmental impacts of using rock climbing chalk, imagine yourself as the superstar you really are, starring in a climbing documentary that details every step in your process of your next big climbing adventure. Regardless, it’s still a good idea to be conscious of all our choices, including what gear we decide to use. The act of driving to our climbing location or the pre-climb meal we eat could have more environmental impact than buying a bag of chalk. However, its environmental impact can be one of the biggest of all our gear.Įverything we do has environmental impact, and we need to keep everything in perspective.
