Chalk Rebels say check your chalk!
Chalk Rebels are a company that we hold close to our heart, as they try to make the climbing sport better through sharing information, disrupting habits and providing climbers with excellent products in a way that we think is a bit rebellious in itself. Chalk Rebels are cool, but they're not cool with the amount of chalk we're all using in gyms and on the rocks. We felt that was a good topic for a blog, but who better to talk about this than the Chalk Rebels themselves?
CleanUp at Women's Bouldering Event 2021
The first thing you've got to know about a clean-up is that you don't do a clean-up after a clean-up... Yes, there was something remarkable during our CleanUp event in Bleau during the Women's Bouldering Event on 17 September; Elephant climbing area was pristine! Yet, there was enough to do for the 20 volunteers who showed up for our joint clean-up with ace climber Tiba Vroom from Wildflower Climbing!
Cobblers, that's where the shoe pinches
Every year we bin around 80,000 kilograms of climbing shoes into waste bins. What happens to this waste is that it mostly goes to landfills or is simply incinerated. This, we believe, is ridiculous. We believe that's a cycle of consumerism we can change for the better, but that's not something we can do by ourselves. We need to work together with the entire supply chain.
Can we handle climbing shoes more sustainably?
