general climbing

This is a very general question. Is it for bouldering? Sport climbing?

There is too much missing information in the question to be able to actually answer it accurately, but, in any case, it would most likely depend on your experience, technique, strength, and how determined you are.

Try to find the next best thing that you do have. Do you have a spray wall? If not, do you have an overhanging wall that you can make up boulders on using the existing holds?

Otherwise, I would just make up boulders anywhere in the gym and try to make them system-board-like.

It can be pretty difficult and hard an you, but it really depends on how good you are at listening to your body and giving it the amount of rest it needs.

If you can do this well enough, climbing won't be that hard on you, it will just be hard in general, as a sport.

How do you define a good body? Climbing can definitely make you stronger, but it wont necessarily change the way you look.

But then again, it depends on your definition of a good body.

If a stronger body counts as a good body alone, then yes, climbing can give you a good body.

Climbing most likely wont, for most people:

1. Cause you to lose weight
2. Put on a significant amount of muscle mass and size

Of course, climbing can motivate you to make these things happen, but climbing alone usually does not cause this.

Yes, you can start climbing at any age. Climbing is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of various ages and fitness levels. Whether you're a child, teenager, adult, or even a senior, there are climbing opportunities available to suit different abilities and interests. It's never too late to begin climbing and start developing your skills and strength. However, it's important to consider your physical condition and any specific health concerns you may have. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are unsure about your fitness level, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new physical activity.

Climbing on wet sandstone can be damaging to both the rock and the climber. Wet sandstone is softer, more prone to erosion, and less grippy. Climbers are at a higher risk of slipping and falling due to reduced friction. Additionally, climbing on wet sandstone can cause accelerated wear and tear on the rock, potentially leading to permanent damage. It is best to wait until the sandstone has thoroughly dried before climbing to protect both the rock and ensure a safer climbing experience.
