I don't really think there is a general best length. For me personally, I cut them just enough to not be too short, but don't leave enough to hear the nails on the wall. If they are even a little bit longer than that, they tend to sometimes get bent backwards while grabbing the holds, which obviously is not very pleasant.

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.

I haven't gotten there yet, but I have come pretty close to doing one, but I think it was very much my "style" as it was a very physical boulder and I have been weight lifting for a few years and have some strength.

I would add that it also depends on if it's indoor climbing or outdoor climbing. I don't climb indoors as much as I do outdoors, but usually when we go out we easily have full day sessions, leaving in the morning and getting back at night, sometimes the next morning even. I doubt I would be able to have such long sessions in an indoor gym though... Read more

I just learned at the gym that this is actually an international way of encouraging or saying "you can do it". Pretty cool when the whole gym is yelling at you "alle" or "you can do it!".

Top Answer: It depends on your goals for climbing and why you are doing it in the first place. When I started climbing I went all in and had 4 hour sessions on average I believe. I was quite obsessed. But, I also had a goal, to get as good as I could in the shor...

Do you think hangboards are ok to train with within the first year, or should i listen to everyone and wait?
 Answer
1  Answer
Asked   Jan 3, 2024,
in Training.
Top Answer: 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,...

Top Answer: It took me 6 months to do my first v6. I think I remember every part of that route (it was almost 3 years ago), and the feeling I had when I was about to match the top hold. My goal was to go up a grade every month. That stopped at that v6, though. ...
