I like this chalk a lot, but I have to admit that I custom blend my own chalk - I use this and white gold. I grind both into very fine powder using a hand-held blender and then I mix the two together. I do this because although the drying agent in Super Chalk is awesome, it does more damage to my hands than good when I use it 100% by itself. And White Gold just doesn't stick to my hands as well as Super Chalk and it's also just not as grippey (sp?). But if I can rest frequently then I'm fine with using a higher concentration of White Gold. When I'm going for routes with very few and insecure rests, then I mix in more Superchalk since it also lasts longer.
Yes, I do probably do think about chalk way too much.

I agree the chalk can tear up the hands really quickly- serious damage if you don't take the counterbalances-ie-really good lotion-hand cream after the climb. Kinda speaks for the effectiveness of it though....
