Chicago chalk?

January 14, 2008 5:25 PM

Where can I find climbing/weightlifting chalk in Chicago?

I'm having trouble tracking some down. Anyone know where I can find some? Preferably somewhere in city that I don't need a car to get to. Thanks!

Don't know much about distance and public transportation in Chicago, but you can try REI and Moosejaw, they both have stores in Chicago and websites. They should carry climbing chalk.

Have you tried a climbing gym ?

This is really cheap in bulk, try www.gymsupply.com (satisfied customer, not a shareholder or owner). Chalk in those little bags is very expensive.
