For me, after climbing for about a year, I noticed that my toes are more squished together, especially the tips of my toes. They have a sharper square shape rather than a round shape.

I put a vitamin E cream on my hands before I fall asleep. I feel it really helps after sessions that leave me with pulsating red fingertips with little to no skin. The one I use is from Jason, its a 25,000 IU cream, but there are also oils with 75,000 IU, I haven't tried that yet though. Leaving the cream on overnight does help quite noticeably.... Read more

In my opinion, the problem is less about the actual hangboarding, and more about beginners not knowing when to stop and let their fingers rest.

Add to that the el... Read more

Because we are in pain! But not that much pain. Generally, climbing shoes are not comfortable, and leaving them on for a long period of time just starts to hurt after a while. Taking them off in between some of the climbs just lets our feet relax a little bit, and delays the session-ending feet pain.

As long as someone is supervising, climbing can be a safe sport, even for kids.
Most indoor climbing gyms also have climbing classes for kids, even for very young ages.

If you live near a climbing gym, it is worth giving them a call and asking. You can also ask about the structure of the classes and how the kids are supervised and looked after.
