The mountaineering equivalent of singlespeeding?

Not all, depending on where your climbing local rules may not allow the use of chalk. Frowned upon in this area. Blake Dean Colin will know, not too certain about Robin Hood rocks though.
Damages the enviroment. If you ever go to an outside climb you will see where chalk has been used long after the visible white marking from its use is gone. The damage it causes can take years to recover from.

Sorry, I was aware of that, I was just being vulgar.

[QUOTE 2102632, member: 9609"]People actually complain about this now?

I would never have been able to cope without my chalk bag. We sometimes used to chalk up non-holds just to confuse visitors. Or chalk up holds from an ab that would be otherwise impossible to ever achieve - then watch other climbers spending all day pondering the situation.

Chalk may look a little unsightly to some but I doubt it damages anything[/quote]
