It's Not You. It's Your Grip.
Climbers · Skin is gear

It's not you. It's your grip.

You keep sliding off the same move and blaming strength. Most of the time it's sweat. Damp hands skate off holds no matter how much chalk you pile on, and the fix goes on the night before, not at the crux.

The part nobody tells you

Chalk is mopping. This is plumbing.

Chalk soaks up what's already on your skin. It can't do anything about what's coming out of it. Performance and Dry Spray work upstream: a thin layer on clean palms before bed, no aluminum, and the hands that show up at the gym tomorrow are already dry. One bottle lasts months.

Dry is half of it. Skin with no water in it goes glassy and splits when it bends. Skin that's too soft rolls into flappers. The New To Rhino kit is the whole routine in one-ounce bottles, so you find your balance before you buy a single full size. Grip first, then everything that keeps you climbing tomorrow.

Pick your hand

Which hand are you?

Four things go wrong with climbing skin. Each one has a bottle in the box.

Sweaty

Damp palms by the second burn. Chalk clumping in the creases.

Performance the night before. Dry Spray the morning of a hot day.

Glassy

Shiny, hard, no friction after a dry week.

Hydrate between burns. Repair every night.

Split

A crack across the pad that opens every time you crimp.

Split Stick at the crag. Split+ whipped balm overnight.

Pumped

Forearms that won't unclench on the drive home.

Massage Cream on forearms and pulleys before bed.

Questions

Before you add it.

Does it feel like antiperspirant?

No aluminum. Performance is a cream you rub into clean palms before bed. Dry Spray is the same idea in a spray. Both go on the night before, not right before you climb.

Will it leave my hands greasy on the holds?

Performance and Dry Spray dry down overnight. Hydrate soaks in within a minute. Repair and Split+ are for bedtime; that's when they do their work.

How long does the kit last?

Depends how often you climb. Most people get several weeks out of the one-ounce bottles and know exactly which full sizes they want next.

No synthetic preservatives, emulsifiers, parabens, phthalates or BPA. Formulated by a pharmacist, built by a chef, made in our own facility in Redmond, Oregon on 100% on-site solar.
