FWIW I virtually never bother with chalk (though I do own a bag) -- I don't like the way it feels on my hands, so I don't use it unless I really feel I have to, and so far that hasn't happened very often. I've seen it suggested that it's something you get used to climbing with or without & adjust your style accordingly, so you can always experiment a bit. Having said that, I think different people sweat on their hands differently, so YMMV etc etc. And doubtless at some point as I get a bit further up the grades & using smaller & smaller holds I'll start finding it useful :)
