If you want to be really cool, go get some chalkline chalk, preferably blue or yellow. That way you can see which routes you've already done.

Thanks for some of your replys. I posted to hear different viewpoints and see if all gyms were already like this or moving towards this. I have had memberships in 4 different gyms and have never been bagged on for chalk...oh well, I'm over it.

I worked at a climbing wall (in a multi-use gymnasium at my college), where chalk was prohibited, and I thought that was great. The holds never got slimy and slipery.
At the other climbing gyms, where they allow chalk, the holds get pretty nasty and slimy, and I feel like I would need chalk as to not slip off. Of course using chalk would only add to the problem, so I don't.

At the two gyms that I go to they owners don't reallty care. They have no problem bustin out the hoover and cleaning that up. Though still I try hard not to spill chalk and if I do (as most people) I clean it up myself.

I too hate the "chalk ball only" rule. personally, i find when i'm on a route and i try to used the ball, it just helps pump me. also, i don't ge much chalk from it so i end up squeeze it a lot, i guess thats why it pumps me. i work at a gym, and i vacuum at the end of the night, its not really that hard.
