The amount of chalk in a chalk bag is a matter of personal preference and can vary among climbers. Some climbers prefer to have a generous amount of chalk in their bag, while others prefer a more minimal amount.

Not so much that it will spill out, and not so little that you have to scrape the sides for it. I tend to have 1-2 broken down chalk blocks in my chalk bucket. But this also depends on the size of your chalk bag.

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.

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.

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.
