This is a really general question. It depends on a few things: 1. Why kind of climbing are you referring to? If its bouldering, then you can climb on your own, but if sport climbing, then you require one more person to belay you. 2. Why are you climbing? Assuming the reference is to bouldering, then the question is why you are climbing. If ... Read more

I think this refers to the head forward and slightly hunched back posture climbers tend to have. Of course, not all climbers have this posture, but many do, it has become a sort of stigma, giving it the name "climbers posture".

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.

Bouldering.
Boulders are the short routes that require crash pads if climbing outdoors. Indoor gyms have certain types of mattresses for falling on.

Rock climbing on higher walls without gear, including a rope and harness, is called free solo. It is the most dangerous form of climbing as you are climbing above safe heights with no protection.
