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.

For me the fit of climbing shoes has always been the same based on the shoes. I haven't changed my shoe size since I started climbing a few years ago, even when I try on shoes I already have, like the Evolv Shaman 2, I still find that the best fit is the same size I got when I first bought them a few years ago.

Answered a Question    Aug 29, 2023

how much chalk should be in a chalk bag?

Climbing Gear   ·   2 Answers   ·   Write an answer
Top Answer

Not so much that it will spill out, and not so little that you have to scrape the sides for it.

I tend to have 1-2 broken down chalk blocks in my chalk bucket. But this also depends on the size of your chalk bag.
