BLACK DIAMOND ENGINEERED CHALK
At Black Diamond we pour all of our engineering resources into every project, whether it’s redefining protection like our cornerstone Camalots, or creating climbing chalk you can trust. That’s why we’ve developed a new line of scientifically engineered chalk that utilizes Upsalite. Developed in Uppsala, Sweden, by researchers in nanotechnology, Upsalite is an amorphous and highly porous form of magnesium carbonate that can absorb more than 10 times more moisture than regular magnesium carbonate. By incorporating Upsalite into the formula of our new Black Gold, Pure Gold, and Liquid Gold, we’ve successfully created climbing chalk scientifically engineered to enhance your grip.

Uncut and ready to rock, White Gold is additive free and adds friction when you need it most.
