Yes, it is possible to rock climb barefoot. Some climbers choose to climb barefoot for various reasons, such as better sensitivity and grip on certain types of rock surfaces. Climbing barefoot can provide a more direct connection with the rock, allowing climbers to feel the texture and subtle nuances of the holds. However, it's important to note that climbing barefoot may not be suitable for all types of climbing environments or routes, especially those that require specialized footwear for protection or specific techniques. Additionally, climbing barefoot exposes your feet to potential hazards such as sharp rocks or rough surfaces, so it's important to assess the risks and make informed decisions about footwear based on the climbing conditions and personal comfort level.
