Magnésie Escalade

Climbing magnesite: a pure adhesive without resin for rock and resin

The Magnets for climbing (Magnesium carbonate) is the indispensable ally of climbers to instantly absorb their hand sweat and maximize friction on the holds. Committed to the preservation of cliffs and the health of climbers, our range offers a magnesium of high purity, formulated without any addition of rosin (pine resin) or chemical fillers.

Liquid Magnésium and formats adapted to each practice

To meet the requirements of block rooms and large halls, our magnets are available in various sizes to adapt to your specific needs, with special attention paid to eco-design:

• Ultra-pure liquid Magnésie (Made in Europe): A resin-free formula that dries quickly, disinfects the skin and leaves a durable uniform layer. Its ethanol is of plant origin (sugar/plant fermentation) and its thickener (cellulose) is derived from wood.
• Eco-responsible magnesium carbonate: The magnesium in our liquid version is derived from the valorization of waste from the production of sea salt, rigorously tested to ensure the absence of heavy metals.
• Base layer: Our liquid magnet can be used alone in a room to prevent volatile dust, or as a base coat on the cliff face before applying powder magnet for extreme adhesion.
• Nomadic and recyclable formats: Practical packaging (like our easy-to-transport 100 ml bottle) with recyclable packaging to keep hands dry while protecting the planet.

Integrating magnatism into its climbing equipment

To best exploit the benefits of good friction while respecting the ethics of climbing spots:

• Transport your powder and store your vial in a magnets bag waterproof.
• Systematically clean away excess and white traces on the rock using a climbing brush in natural silk.
• After each session, wash your hands and apply a repairing balm from our range care and maintenance to soothe your skin.
• Find all the essentials for your sessions in the section climbing accessories.

FAQ on climbing magnesite

Why choose a magnet without resin (colophane)?

Colophane artificially increases adhesion in the short term, but it deeply soaks into the pores of the rock and resin-based plugs. In the long term, it creates an irreversible black film (the patina) that destroys the natural friction of the support. That is why SNAP Magnets are completely devoid of it.

Is liquid magnatism mandatory in the block room?

Many indoor climbing halls now require the exclusive use of liquid magnesium chloride. Unlike conventional powder, it does not generate a volatile dust cloud in the air, which preserves the quality of the ambient air and the cleanliness of the reception carpets.

Does liquid magnesia damage the skin of the hands?

The alcohol contained in the liquid magnésium (from vegetable ethanol for SNAP, less aggressive than isopropyl alcohol) dries the skin to ensure grip. To prevent cracking, it is strongly recommended to wash your hands with clear water and neutral soap immediately after the session, then apply a repairing oil or balm for climbers.

Can I mix liquid and powder magnesia?

Absolutely. Many top climbers use liquid magnesium as a «base layer» to even out the skin pores before lightly dusting with powder before tackling the crux of the route.
