I have washed my chalk bag a few times throughout the years, not that it was REALLY needed, but, I personally like to refresh my gear after sometime. Other gear I might buy new, but chalk bags I feel can just live on until they are really in bad shape and ruined, especially because they are not a matter of safety. When it comes to safety or perform... 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! Either way, I don't see why it would hurt to wash it by hand and let it dry out in the s... Read more

There isnt a rule that says you need one, but, if you are going to use chalk then I would say yes, you do. You could put your chalk in plastic containers like many new climbers do, but this is really not efficient, and its very easy for the chalk to spill and get knocked over.

I have taken a few breaks from climbing here and there, sometimes for a few months at a time, and each time my shoes felt more like plastic than I remembered. It's not to the point where it's a whole new break-in process, but, it usually takes about a session or two to get used to them again. It's really about getting my feet used to climbing shoes...

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

The jeans rock climbers wear are not ordinary jeans. They have specific qualities that make them comfortable while climbing, such as being more stretchy and breathable than normal jeans

These jeans are typically very comfortable, and are thick enough to also help prevent those small but annoying skin scrapping injuries.

Some climbers also prefer wearing these jeans because they just look more stylish.

Top Answer: Because leaving them on in between routes can end up being painful, shortening your climbing session, and making every attempt on the route more and more painful and less efficient. Taking your shoes off in between routes lets your feet rest a lit...
