Created by seasoned climbers, Chalk Rebels products combine sustainability and high performance—without compromise.
The company in short
Chalk Rebels was founded by two passionate climbers, Francis Dierick and Tianyi Gu, with a clear mission: to make climbing more sustainable. Their chalk, derived from seawater, is at the heart of a product range designed to combine high performance with environmental care. The brand’s philosophy, “Use Less Chalk,” promotes a more mindful approach to chalk use—liquid chalk as the base and refill balls to reduce waste. A choice that also helps protect the natural and artificial climbing surfaces we all rely on.
Interview
Who your product is intended for?
Chalk Rebels is designed for climbers of all levels and athletes who demand a secure, reliable grip. Every product is crafted to deliver exceptional grip and skin protection—with sustainability at its core. The brand operates across Europe through a direct online sales channel.
What makes your brand unique?
What sets Chalk Rebels apart is their choice of raw material: all chalk is sourced from seawater—a much cleaner process compared to traditional mining. Plus, their products are developed by professional climbers who truly understand real-world needs. The result is a technical, reliable, and eco-friendly product line.
Why did you choose Flexie?
“We discovered Flexie online and immediately knew they were the right partner. Simple ordering, optimized production, and the ability to create multiple designs in a single order.” Plus, grip quality also depends on how the product is stored. Our chalk is highly hydrophilic, so we chose airtight packaging to protect it from moisture and external elements.
