Tokyo Powder: Chalk That Actually Works

Most chalk companies throw magnesium carbonate in a bag and call it a day. Tokyo Powder approaches it completely differently. Every batch is hand blended with purified water, creating a unique texture that grips the rock instead of sliding around like regular chalk.

The Main Variants

Pure — The reliable everyday option for gym and outdoor climbing.

Speed — For sweaty hands and hot conditions; faster drying and more aggressive.

Effect — The heavy hitter for serious projects on textured rock like limestone and granite.

Black — Pure's cooler cousin with activated charcoal; performs identically but blends in on dark rock.

Why It Matters

When you're projecting at your limit, everything counts—your shoes, your technique, your head space. Your chalk should get the same attention. Tokyo Powder's hand blending with purified water creates a more consistent layer that actually maintains friction instead of just drying your hands out.

The result? Climbers trust it and keep coming back.
