In reply to: I'm undecided. While I'm pondering this truly fantastic question, would some of you be kind enough to tell me which shoe is the best???
For indoor or outdoor? But if you go with Madrock shoes, beware their sizing is different than 5.10 shoes.

Climbing has always been an outdoor sport....so someone got the bright idea to take it indoors for training (hence the title climbing GYM) good for them, the true spirit of climbing is out on the rock. Also,being able to climb 5.11 in a gym won't do you any good outside because outdoor climbing is so different than indoor climbing. You're setting yourself up for a bad climbing experience if you think you're at 5.11 capabilties on the real thing just because you can do it in a gym.
So in short go outside find out what you can climb and train to go beyond that by using the gym.

I climbed for a full year in an indoor gym with a membership before ever setting foot outside. Because of that, it took me months to get an eye for the rock. I was unsure, wary, and above all else unfit for going outside despite my "5.12 topropping." I would peel off 5.7 cracks and couldn't set an anchor if my life depended on it.
Climb outdoors till 5.11. Than, go indoors when it rains. It is not about how good you can climb, but what an experience you get from it.

Whichever you like better...you don't need to try to justify either one....you can do either one or both...or neither if you don't like it at all.

Indoors of course!
The holds are held on with 12,000 psi grade 8 bolts, the floors padded, the anchors bomb proof, and there's always someone you can sue if you do get hurt.
For God's sake stay inside!

NEITHER!
REal climbing is only in my garage, my hangboard solos are absolutely fulfilling, especially with the light off you can't see the holds....sometimes it gets really challenging...
You can also simulate outoor environment opening the door at night when outside is so cold...
Hangboard climbing...the future.
Stay in your garage. Don';t go out. It's full of bugs, mud and it's cold/.
In reply to: 2 start off i'de say indoor than when u can climb a 5.11 @ least than u should start outdoor climbing! does anyone agree?? |

indoor climbing as good training and a good place to go during bad weather and winter months.

I think outside is better, but if it's raining or to cold outside, inside is the place to be.
