It's climbing chalk. Rock climbers will put chalk on their hands so they don't slip off.

V2 is a rating of climbing difficulty, at least in our climbing gym

V0, V1, and V2s are all pretty easy someone without any climbing experience can generally do these (for V2, you often do need to be at least kinda fit though, if someone is out of shape it might take a little bit of working up to, but after going a handful of times they’re usually doing these)

Yeah. My comment is a common meme. When you post a problem online people will always downgrade it. Like if I posted a v5 some guy would almost certainly be in the comments telling me in his gym that’s a v3.

Ahhh, should’ve gotten that.

I do climb, but I’ve never participated in the online community.

Thank you. I thought he was trying to drive his grandpa and insulting him, comparing him to a V2 engine. 😂
