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 haven't found what works best yet though as i... Read more

I've been climbing for a few years now and have never had to wash my chalk bag. What happened to yours? Did something spill on it? I can't imaging why one would need to be washed unless you are trying to sell it or it got into an accident and got spilled on!

Top Answer: Climbing doesn't really target your chest muscles that much. There are situations in which you will need to push your weight up with your hands, which will utilize your chest muscles, but not really to the point where it will strengthen them tha...
