The amount of times you should climb per week really depends on you and how conditioned your body is to climbing.

There is no definitive amount of times someone can climb per week. It just depends on each person, as each person has their own fitness level and athletic history.

I believe he said in one of his recent videos, or just in a video he was in, that he downsizes his shoes a few sizes less than he used to a few years ago. I can't remember the reason why he said he does it.

There may be some brands that have similar sizing, most likely by chance, but overall brands can have very different sizing to their shoes. Even different shoes from the same brand tend to have different sizing.

Rock climbing can be enjoyed by individuals of various body types. While a lean and relatively lightweight body composition can provide advantages in terms of strength-to-weight ratio, there is no specific "best" body type for climbing. Other factors such as technique, flexibility, mental focus, and problem-solving skills also play important roles in climbing success.
