To Chalk or not to Chalk |

Im actually really suprised that only 80% (give or take) of people voting use chalk. Its cerainly not representative of my experience with the many people ive climbed with. I can only ever remember climbign with one person who didnt use chalk.
I suspect this poll might be biased somewhat by those people who make an effort to minimise their chalk use (but still use it) choosing not to vote.
I think ill start not using chalk when I am seconding routes, or when leading things well within my limit. I cant possibly see myself not chalking up when a long way up leading a run-out route on a hot day. I see chalk use, like helmet wearing, as a safety issue at times. I believe im more likely to fall if I dont use chalk, and as such will continue to use it.
Perhaps ill find from not using it seconding that Im not more likely to fall, and may then decide not to use it leading. I doubt it though.
