Is it better to climb with others or alone?
This is a really general question. It depends on a few things: 1. Why kind of climbing are you referring to? If its bouldering, then you can climb on your own, but if sport climbing, then you require one more person to belay you. 2. Why are you climbing?

is rock climbing hard on the body?
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.

Do you think hangboards are ok to train with within the first year, or should i listen to everyone and wait?

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...

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...

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.
