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.

Rock climbing is a mix of cardio and strength training. It requires strength to pull yourself up and hold onto the wall or rocks. At the same time, climbing can get your heart pumping and provide a good cardiovascular workout. So, it's a great way to build both strength and endurance.
