What is a "chalk bag"?
A chalk bag is a small pouch used by climbers and gymnasts to hold chalk. The chalk is used to keep hands dry and prevent slipping during activities that require a strong grip, such as rock climbing or gymnastics. The bag is usually worn around the waist or attached to a harness, and it has an opening for easy access to the chalk. Climbers and gymnasts dip their hands into the bag to apply the chalk before starting their activity. The chalk helps absorb sweat and provides better control while holding onto equipment or surfaces.
