RockSolid Breeze
RockSolid Breeze is a fully rechargeable and sustainable fan that reduces the use of chalk while climbing by drying climbers’ hands. Chalk is used to dry and increase friction between fingers and rock.
However, it can change the pH level of surface rock, killing living organisms and staining the rock itself. Chalk is mostly mined in China and after going through various processes it is far from being sustainable or environmentally friendly. The Breeze mimics the size and way in which a chalk bag is used, so it falls in place of current habits without changing them.
