Does looking at your project (or climbing crush) fill you with sweaty hands? You probably have a minor (or serious) case of hyperhidrosis! Excessive sweating is often due to a sympathetic nervous system response (fight or flight). Rock climbers are particularly prone to this condition due several causes:
o	Excitement 
o	Stress and fear (rocks are our friends, but falling off them can be quite scary)
o	High Humidity 
o	Occlusive footwear
o	Nutrition (excessive salt and processed foods unfortunately make for great crag snacks)

While chalk is enough for most of us, if you notice yourself sweating through the chalk rather quickly, you may want to try an antiperspirant (anti-sweat)! Rhino offers 3 products with methenamine, which decreases sweat in low doses. This ingredient has been found to be an effective and safe treatment strategy for hyperhidrosis while minimizing skin irritation compared to other common treatments. Performance is the most mild, followed by dry spray, with tip juice being the most potent. Be sure to not exceed the recommended use since excessive dryness may occur.
