I didn't use chalk 'till I came to Australia.... Here I discovered the jig-saw nature of sportsclimbing, trying to a) fiddle a boltplate off the biner you've stuck them on, b) try to fiddle the boltplate onto a rusty, bent and loose excuse for a bolt (a real, fresh carrot would probably be safer), c) clip the boltplate from the correct side, without it spinning or falling off, d) clip the rope.... Then someone asked me why I didn't just carry the boltplates in a chalkbag. Well, there's no sense in a chalkbag with no chalk, right? Right! So now I use chalk.... or at least it's a good excuse....
