Yup, that was another thing. We were in Thailand at the time to rock climb (the climbing there is awesome!, absolutely spectacular), and I quickly realized I just had to get used to climbing soaked with sweat all the time, even in the shade. At home I'd get all nervous and chalk up if I had even slightly damp hands, but in Thailand I just had to suck it up and keep climbing. Our chalkbags were pretty useless. (Heh, especially after I fell off this one route overhanging the water, and ended up with a chalkbag full of sea-water.)
