Perfect friction thanks to magnesium from FrictionLabs

More and more often in the climbing scene of FrictionLabs to listen. The small company from Denver (Colorado) is mixing up the market with its magnesium. Your announcement: Chalk matters! LACRUX is giving away 40 x 3 portions of the white gold exclusively. Important: Only people residing in Switzerland are eligible to participate.

If you want to climb a Cresciano classic like the Sloppy Traverse in sunshine and a summery, humid climate, you will have to struggle to keep the sloping flop. Everyone agrees that temperature and humidity have a major influence on the friction on the rock. When it comes to magnesium, however, many climbers hardly worry. Wrongly.

Magnesium is not the same as magnesium

The number of magnesium manufacturers is immense, as is the corresponding selection. The magnesium of many low-cost manufacturers contains a high proportion of calcium carbonate (chalk). The Chalk by FrictionLabs, on the other hand, is almost pure magnesium. Accordingly, magnesium can bind more moisture and lubricate less than alternative products.
