Are the shoes leather or synthetic? The answer to this makes a huge difference, since synthetic climbing shoes only stretch up to about half a size at most, and may not even stretch at all. Leather on the other hand stretches much more easily and can actually stretch up to 2 size more. I once bought synthetic climbing shoes that were about 1 siz... Read more

You do need certain levels of upper and lower body strength, but, the amount of strength really depends on the grade you want to climb. If you are a beginner, then you don't really need any extra strength to start climbing, as the beginner level routes are very easy. They are similar to climbing ladders, just with some curves. If you want to ... Read more

Answered a Question    Feb 19, 2023

will rock climbing make you lose weight?

General Climbing   ·   1 Answer   ·   Write an answer
Top Answer

If climbing is a sport that you enjoy and are motivated by and it causes you to change your habits and exercise more, then yes, climbing can be a great way to help you lose weight.

Exercise in general is a great way to help you lose weight, but it really comes down largely to your diet. With that said, if you reduce your calorie intake but are not active at all, the journey is going to be less efficient. So both aspects really go together.

Which brings me to my first point. If climbing motivates you to change your habits, improve your lifestyle, eat healthier, and exercise more, then yes, climbing can very much help you lose weight.
