It can be pretty difficult and hard an you, but it really depends on how good you are at listening to your body and giving it the amount of rest it needs. If you can do this well enough, climbing won't be that hard on you, it will just be hard in general, as a sport.

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.

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.

Rock climbing can be enjoyed by individuals of various body types. While a lean and relatively lightweight body composition can provide advantages in terms of strength-to-weight ratio, there is no specific "best" body type for climbing. Other factors such as technique, flexibility, mental focus, and problem-solving skills also play important roles in climbing success.
