Historically only a very small number have shunned it altogether, and the widespread uptake of both the sport and chalk usage (ticks, marking holds) followed by not cleaning holds afterward has put it's visibility on natural rock further into the spotlight. The environmental impact also begins at the source of where chalk comes from: the non-renewable mineral magnesite, the majority of which is mined in China where the environmental effects from both mining and processing have led to poor air and soil quality, and extremely difficult land remediation. Only as recently as 2017 did companies begin to clean up and improve processes to reduce their impact (link in bio). The climbing world should always be striving for solutions to reduce our impact, whether it's through the products we use, behaviours we adopt, choices we make, all of the above. The Metolious Eco Ball - developed with support from the Access Fund, is a chalk 'substitute' that does not leave visible marks on the rock. The jury is out however on what those invisible marks might become with a high uptake- ie. the same way we've adopted chalk on a mass scale. Perhaps carrying and using the correct type of brush when we climb should become standard practice. The Eco Ball is a really good start - but it's really just that: a start. Innovation is required everywhere to address the problems of today and create a sustainable future - imagine how good it would be to climb on boulders and routes regularly that are not covered in chalky holds and the rock remains in it’s most natural state - that should be the goal. Congratulations Oceana Mackenzie - Climbing, through to the first International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) World Cup final of the year. First Victorian female ever to make a final. SO PROUD OF YOU!! 😍👊 @sportclimbvic @vicsport @victorian_government @vichealth @changeourgame @thisgirlcanvic @vicinsport www.sportclimbingvictoria.com.au #SCA #supportyoursport #sponsors #funding #Victorianathletes #yoursportstory #whatsyour30 😆 Congratulations @oceana_climbing through to the semis of the first @ifsclimbing World Cup of the season!! 🎉🤩 #Meiringen, #Switzerland.
