chalk bucket

Climber's powder holder

A chalk bucket is a container holding powdered chalk or chalk balls, used by rock climbers and gymnasts to keep their hands dry and improve grip.

Climbers typically wear small chalk bags on their harness while climbing, but a larger chalk bucket sits at the base of a bouldering wall or beside gymnastic equipment for communal use: Everyone dipped into the chalk bucket between attempts.
