How do you get better at sit starts when bouldering?
What really helped me get better at sit starts was climbing on a moon board, and either finding boulders that have sit starts, or building new boulders with sit starts. I was pretty bad at sit starts since they are very compressed for me, something I am fairly weak at. But after climbing for about a month almost only on the moon board, I really ...

How Long did it take to do your first v6?
My first v6 was after about 6 months. But, to be able to consistently climb v6s and call myself a v6 climber, it took longer, maybe closer to 1 year. Yes, I could say that I climbed a v6 and that I am a v6 climber, but, to me that doesn't count. It may have been a very soft v6, it could have been my specific style also. For me what counts is bei...

How Long did it take to do your first v6?
I sort of unlocked the v6's after 6 months actually. It was a pretty solid v6, and after that, it was as if this whole new world opened up and I was able to climb even more v6's. Of course not all, but some, and others I was able to do a few moves, while before I was struggling a lot on v5's.

Do you think hangboards are ok to train with within the first year, or should i listen to everyone and wait?
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. Since new climbers aren't usually used to the strain that climbing puts on their fingers and tendons, it's very easy to overtrain and to get injured. This is true just by climbing alone. Add to that the el...

Why do climbers take their shoes off?
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.

Does rock climbing damage your feet?
It for sure can if you wear the wrong shoes! It would also likely be a combination of other things such as wearing climbing shoes that are too small and landing badly, which could be bad regardless of the shoes, but wearing shoes that are not good for you would most likely increase the risk of bad landings. Even without combining shoes and other...
