What are the ingredients? If it's a secret, can you at least verify if aluminum or other known carcinogenic ingredients are NOT in the list?

Some of the ingredients: Aluminum chlorohydrate, silica, talc, kaolin, just to name a few of the 18.
The aluminum is found in almost all deodorants and has been used for decades and I haven't seen any one develope cancer from it.
Now for the air we breathe and cigarettes and plastic from drinking water bottles, benzene inside our hot cars is another story and all are carcinogenic.
We all have a choice in products we use and that is our decision. Choose wisely.

Thanks. I will do so by not using your product.

uhh, i'll just stick with magnesium carbonate. at least i know what's in it. plus i can dip the old boulder brush in the bag and dry off those lil' nubs when i need it. putting handwarmers in the chalk bag when bouldering or climbing in the cold... yea, just so many uses. so i'll have to opt out

You have taken the myth that aluminum causes Alzheimer's (which has been well studied and shown with little doubt to be nothing more than a myth) and transposed it to causing cancer.
This is an impressive level of idiocy.
I can't say anything about the other ingredients in this product, but aluminum is not one you need worry about.
PS To avoid thread drift, if you would like to discuss the evidence concerning the above statements, please PM me.

My fault. I did conflate cancer with Alzheimer's; perhaps the better question would have been to ask if aluminum type products were used at all. I have personal concerns about using it.
The causal link between Alzheimer's and aluminum is controversial. I'm wary of your statement that it is simply a myth and well-proven to be a myth. But, to explain my stance, I also avoid BPA and other, 'questionable products' even though the causal link there is not definitive either.
PS. You're an ill-mannered douchebag. I was going to PM that to you, but I changed my mind. Sorry about the thread drift.

Next time I'm on a project of mine, 60 ft up on one of the many crux moves, hanging from a mono and barely a smear, I'm gonna reach behind and dig for my tube of grip rite, and then attempt to apply it on both hands somehow. A little research into climbing, and the practical uses of your product for the sport would make more sense. Through that research you will quickly learn that you probably wasted your time here. It might not be your fault, the evening community college you hail from probably doesn't teach proper market research.

I hate to inject some seriousness into this hilarious thread, but tite-grip is meant to be used differently, not like chalk: you put it on your hands at the beginning of the day, rub it in, let it dry, and it is good for several hours. You do not put it on your hands mid-climb.
I have been using it for couple years, and it completely substitutes for chalk in my case. I still have chalk in my chalkbag, but most of the times I don't even bother to open up my chalkbag for the entire day, it's more of a back-up for my partners who run out sometimes... Titegrip works for me pretty well, except on 90F days when nothing keeps your hands dry, you need a towel...
A disclaimer though, it doesn't seem to completely eliminate the need for chalk for other people I know. maybe I just don't sweat that much... or maybe chalk is psychological.

I stand corrected and am thankful for insight from an experienced climber, not some dude arbitrarily pushing a product. Personally I'll stick to the chalk, it's how I shake it out anyway.

Just trying to inform your profession about a new product used the world over in rock climbing.
Sorry about the misspelling. Another senior moment. Should have used spell check.

Sorry. I should have sent the info to the administator and asked about the best way to inform the rock climbing profession.
A lot of forums I belong to, allow showing our web site.

Hi Carvel
I think your product could be very good, especially since Magnesium carbonate is so dangerous for your lungs.
Here is a link to a very interesting study about the dangers of chalk.
http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org...ent/full/101/19/1330
THis might help alot with advertising your product.

Tite-Grip in all sports, is applied before engaging in the sport. It eliminates the moisture in 30 seconds and keeps your hands dry for up to 4 hours.
Several Rock Climbing Companies distribute Tite-Grip so our company knows pretty well how to market.
If you are such a hotshot about marketing, maybe you would like to become a distributor. It is used in all sports world-wide, so you could test the market and make a fortune.
Not bragging, but I was fortunate to have the opportunity to have six more years of college beyond community college and am proud to have a professional degree.
I'm sorry for all these negative replies received about our product.
Seems like some people just don't appreciate someone trying to give them new information to enhance their sport.
Without trying something new, how can you judge the results?
