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.

Answered a Question    Nov 22, 2022

Is climbing safe for kids?

Health, Injuries, & Safety   ·   1 Answer   ·   Write an answer
Top Answer

As long as someone is supervising, climbing can be a safe sport, even for kids.
Most indoor climbing gyms also have climbing classes for kids, even for very young ages.

If you live near a climbing gym, it is worth giving them a call and asking. You can also ask about the structure of the classes and how the kids are supervised and looked after.
