Lead climbing multiple times a week, this is what helped me overcome my fear of heights, at least while climbing. I found a friend to climb with, and we climbed 3 times a week. The frequent climbing amount really helped boost my confidence in being up so high, and my confidence in the gear and the knots and everything else. Though, this didn... Read more

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.

As Joshua answered, you really dont need to downsize beginner shoes, because they are beginner shoes. Once you get past the beginner stage and get to the point where downsizing can actually contribute to your climbing, then its worth considering downsizing.

Top Answer

There isn't really a "supposed to" or not when it comes to socks. You either prefer them or you don't.

Some wear them due to hygiene, some due to shoe sizing, and for some it's just comfortable.

Undoubtedly though, the majority of climbers do not wear socks with climbing shoes.

in Climbing Shoes.
Top Answer: Rock climbing shoes are designed to be worn without socks, to have as little wiggle room and dead space in them as possible. Socks can cause your feet to slip and move around a little bit inside of the shoes, which could reduce your performance. M...
