One of climbing partners climbs without chalk as his hands never get sweaty. I carry chalk but try not to use it as i have realised that i mostly used it as a psychological aid.
> I'm trying to find the names of some famous chalk free climbers, people who climb hard but treat their hands like a naturist treats their extremities.
Chalk free climbers?
I've free-climbed on chalk if that's what you mean
In reply to alan moore: Hardly...it was being used regularly from the mid 70's, though granted it was mostly those operating round XS - plenty of trips to Boots for the box of light magnesium
