Chalk Rebels

🌟 Introducing Our Chalk-Up Guide! 🧗‍♂️✨

Whether you’re scaling indoor walls or tackling outdoor crags, maximizing chalk efficiency and minimizing environmental impact is important. Here’s how to elevate your chalk game with simple yet effective tips:

1️⃣ Start Smart: Use liquid chalk as a base layer. Let it dry completely for optimal grip and less mess. 🌬️

2️⃣ Less is More: Apply a thin, even layer of chalk powder. Avoid over-chalking to reduce waste and keep your hands dry and agile. 💧

3️⃣ Dust-Free Zone: Opt for a chalk ball to minimize airborne chalk particles. It spreads evenly and helps keep the climbing area cleaner. 🌿

4️⃣ Brush It Off: Before climbing, brush holds to remove excess chalk and preserve their texture. It improves grip. 🧹

5️⃣ Choose Wisely: Go for synthesized chalk made from seawater, made locally. Avoid mined chalk and liquid chalk containing colophony/rosin for a cleaner, more sustainable climb. 🌍

Less Chalk, More Grip. Send With Confidence. 🚀💪

Empower your climbing journey with these tips and climb responsibly! Together, let’s preserve our climbing spaces and enhance our performance. 🌟

⭐️Introducing our ambassador⭐️

Allow us to introduce Tom ( ), a passionate climber whose journey began at the age of 11 around Marseille. From those early days, climbing quickly evolved into a lifelong passion for him.

What sets Tom apart is his unwavering commitment to sustainability. He believes in leaving no trace, minimizing his environmental impact while exploring new places and meeting fellow climbers.

Now based in Briançon, Tom finds himself surrounded by stunning cliffs and picturesque valleys. Ailefroide has become his playground, where he spends countless hours each week pushing his limits and immersing himself in the beauty of outdoor climbing.

His achievements speak volumes about his dedication. With a notable ascent of an 8b+ route in lead climbing and two 8a+ bouldering successes, Tom continues to set his sights higher. His goals for the future include conquering the challenging 8c grade in lead climbing and an 8b in bouldering, a testament to his relentless pursuit of improvement.

But Tom's journey is not just about personal achievements. He is an ambassador for sustainable climbing practices, advocating for responsible exploration and mindful engagement with nature. Through his daily training routines and climbing adventures, Tom invites everyone to join him in celebrating the beauty of our natural world while pursuing our passions with respect and enthusiasm.

🌟 Introducing our ambassador 🌟

Allow us to introduce Nils Destombes ( ), an enthusiast rock climber and environmental passionate hailing from Valence, France.

🧗‍♂️ Since the tender age of 6, Nils has been captivated by the world of rock climbing. With each ascent, he finds himself drawn closer to nature, fostering a deep appreciation for the environment that surrounds him. His love for climbing has ignited a passion for outdoor exploration and a commitment to preserving the natural landscapes he holds dear.

Growing up in the picturesque Verdon Massif, nestled at the base of the iconic Presles cliffs, Nils developed a profound connection to nature. Surrounded by stunning landscapes, he became acutely aware of the ecological challenges facing our planet. Inspired by his surroundings and guided by his father's wisdom, Nils is dedicated to promoting environmental consciousness within the climbing community and beyond.

Despite the demands of high school, Nils relentlessly pursues excellence in both climbing and academics. With notable achievements such as scaling 8b+/5.14a routes in lead and conquering 7C/V9 boulder problems, he sets his sights even higher, aiming to tackle 8c/5.14b routes and 8A/V11 boulder challenges by year's end.

Embark on this journey with Nils as he climbs towards his dreams, leaving a positive impact on the world and inspiring others to follow their passions with purpose. 🌟

🌟 Introducing our ambassador 🌟

Greetings, climbers and activists! Allow us to introduce Sébastien Berthe ( ), a 30-year-old powerhouse of passion and purpose in the climbing world.

🧗‍♂️ Sébastien's climbing journey is as diverse as it is impressive. From bouldering (up to 8B) to lead climbing (up to 9a+/5.15a), and from competition climbing (former national coach and Belgian lead champion) to trad and BigWall climbing (multipitch routes up to 8c+ in Europe and tackling iconic routes like Rayu and El Capitan classics), Sébastien thrives on the endless possibilities that climbing offers.

Beyond climbing, Sébastien is deeply passionate about environmental and social causes. Climate change, biodiversity loss, social inequalities—these issues weigh heavily on his heart. In the face of eco-anxiety and existential questions, Sébastien found solace in action. He sees climbing as a powerful tool for activism, leveraging his platform to raise awareness and drive change. Sébastien's commitment to environmentalism even led him to undertake a bold journey, crossing the Atlantic with friends to climb in Yosemite, foregoing air travel to minimize his carbon footprint.

In Sébastien's world, style is paramount. He lives by the adage "Style first," believing that how you climb is just as important as what you achieve. Even in moments of failure, Sébastien embraces it with flair, finding beauty and humor in the journey.

Let's climb toward a better world, one hold at a time! 🌟

🌟 Introducing our ambassador 🌟

Allow us to introduce Paolo Vangi ( ), a dedicated climber whose journey embodies the essence of passion and exploration in the world of climbing.

🧗‍♂️Paolo discovered the thrill of climbing at the young age of 10, igniting a lifelong passion for the sport. From early competitions to his current roles as a routesetter and language student, climbing has been the driving force behind his pursuits and endeavors.

While Paolo has dabbled in various aspects of climbing, it's bouldering that truly captivates him. For him, the allure lies not only in the challenge of difficult routes but also in the natural beauty of the rocks and the fluidity of movement they offer.

The Frankenjura holds a special place in Paolo’s heart, having spent significant time in Nuremberg as a routesetter and immersing himself in the unique landscape of franconian limestone. The memories and experiences garnered in this iconic climbing destination continue to shape his climbing journey.

Paolo deeply appreciates the environmentally friendly approach of ChalkRebels, a sentiment that resonates with his own values. He finds solace in the smooth texture of their chalk, which aids him in his climbing endeavors, whether scaling rocks outdoors or training in the gym.
