Gloves would actually be counter-productive for rock climbing, I think, as then your hands would blister from the slippage between the skin and the gloves.
Basically they're only a good idea if you're on a mountain and getting frostbite *g*.
You'll find that your skin does get sore and blistered initially, but it will start to toughen up very quickly. There's a climbing hand care post here.
