if you look at it long term as well, chalk can make it harder to climb. i know it is an extreme example, but on tannin the caked up chalk actually makes it harder to climb, as the hold become more slippery. this is because of the granuales of chalk gradually getting compacted to form a smoother surface then the original rock. aardvark is another climb like this, with a few very solid underclings that you would have to have to be a very poor climber to fall off because of your hands (no offense meant to anyone who has fallen off that...) but are so caked up with chalk they are slippery.
