There isnt a rule that says you need one, but, if you are going to use chalk then I would say yes, you do. You could put your chalk in plastic containers like many new climbers do, but this is really not efficient, and its very easy for the chalk to spill and get knocked over.

The jeans rock climbers wear are not ordinary jeans. They have specific qualities that make them comfortable while climbing, such as being more stretchy and breathable than normal jeans

These jeans are typically very comfortable, and are thick enough to also help prevent those small but annoying skin scrapping injuries.

Some climbers also prefer wearing these jeans because they just look more stylish.
