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 doubt I would be able to have such long sessions in an indoor gym though... Read more

I just learned at the gym that this is actually an international way of encouraging or saying "you can do it". Pretty cool when the whole gym is yelling at you "alle" or "you can do it!".

As a climber, I can tell you that hand size is not a limiting factor in rock climbing. Whether you have small hands, large hands, or somewhere in between, you can excel in the sport. Climbing technique, strength, and body positioning are far more important than hand size alone. While small hands can be advantageous for gripping smaller holds and... Read more

I wouldn't. Downsizing isn't really meant to be a beginner thing, it's really not beginner friendly. The whole point of downsizing is to have better control and performance for the more difficult and advanced routes, beginners don't climb on advance routes that require high performance shoes or downsizing. I would hold off on downsizing and only... Read more

As Joshua answered, you really dont need to downsize beginner shoes, because they are beginner shoes. Once you get past the beginner stage and get to the point where downsizing can actually contribute to your climbing, then its worth considering downsizing.

I haven't gotten there yet, but I have come pretty close to doing one, but I think it was very much my "style" as it was a very physical boulder and I have been weight lifting for a few years and have some strength. I think I was just very much lacking the technique needed to actually do the boulder. If I would have done it though I don't know if I... Read more

Indoor rock climbing is just called indoor rock climbing. Though, the term could refer to a few different styles of climbing.

Indoor climbing could refer to bouldering, sport climbing, top rope climbing, auto-belay climbing, and speed climbing. Each of these may have similar traits to each other, but they are each different in their own way.

The most common and popular forms of indoor climbing are bouldering and sport climbing. So it is most likely that when referring to indoor rock climbing, it is actually a reference to either indoor bouldering or indoor sport climbing.
