I was just climing for an hour or so, and holy hell do my hands hurt. But, it was so much fun! I'm going twice a week from now on because of how much I love it ♡. I'd advise you to use chalk and climing shoes when starting. Also, use a harness and rope. Then, you can start going without it. It's awesome, you should try it. I climbed in an indoor climing gym, so yeah. Try it and tell me if you like it!
