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

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

While a chalk bag is not a requirement for bouldering or climbing in general, it is highly recommended to use chalk as it can be the difference between sending a route and falling. Chalk, when used, is preferably kept in a chalk bag or a chalk bucket, which is similar to a chalk bag, just larger and usually with more pockets for brushes and other i... Read more

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

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!".

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...
