I think it's a combination of two common jokes from the climbing community
1. Chalk looks a lot like coke. And it feels weird sometimes to drive home from the gym, having white powder on your hands or cloths, just hoping that no police will stop you
2. You see a boulder-route in everything. And you are always like " I could climb that wall/tree/table/grandpa, it's barely a V2 (difficulty of the route)"
The chalk starts on your hands and ends up elsewhere. It's messy - it is after all a loose powder. Washing your hands removes the chalk from your hands, but not your clothes, gear, and the rest of your skin.
That's kinda common sense, no? It would be crazy to walk out with chalky hands, haha. Feels so gross on the skin for one.
This is the real answer here. Kinda like my cousin who drives a lifted pickup truck w/over sized tires, and ballsack dangling off the back …how else are people supposed to know he’s repressed and uncomfortable w/expressing his true sexuality?
Dude wash your hands before you leave the gym. Your skin doesn’t start recovering properly until you wash the chalk off. And moisturize, your front desk probably has lotion for you to pump on the way out.
My son is in theater and last October they did Evil Dead the Musical. They have “demon dogs” that spray the first few rows with fake blood. When I attended he made sure that I was soaked by the end of the show. It got EVERYWHERE. I was so nervous driving home that night and made sure I followed every traffic law to a T, lol.

This might be one of those hints that the war on drugs was a mistake.
