[...] petit sac dans lequel le grimpeur met du pof (poudre de résine) ou de la magnésie (hydrocarbonate de magnésium) afin d'absorber la transpiration des mains et d'éviter que celle-ci le fasse glisser.

CONT

L'appellation «sac à pof» pour «sacs à magnésie» est un terme impropre. Le pof est mis en boule dans un chiffon; en tapotant, ce chiffon sur le rocher, il s'y dépose du pof.

CONT

pof : sac de résine (colophane). Ne pas confondre avec le sac de magnésie (mgo2), absorbeur d'humidité.

OBS

Cette notion n'est pas utilisée en Amérique du Nord, elle ne fait donc pas partie de la terminologie du domaine de l'escalade pratiquée au Québec.
