Are La Sportiva true to size?
We recommend you fit your trad shoes one to two sizes under your street shoe size. Remember: a well-fit comfortable shoe will work better than an ill-fitting tighter shoe. La Sportiva’s diverse last families have been specifically designed to conform to the widest possible range of both foot shape and climbing use.
Do La Sportiva climbing shoes run small?
La Sportiva climbing shoes are sized a little smaller than other options. If you’re a new climber, go with Tarantulas and you might go down about half a Euro size, or none at all (because they’re a ‘soft’ climbing shoe, and they will stretch to your feet). The more advanced you get, the tighter shoes you’ll want.
Can you trad climb alone?
First off – Yes it’s completely possible to rock climb alone but it’s not recommended. When you manage the rope yourself without anyone backing you up this is called rope soloing. There is also the most obvious way of climbing alone which is with no rope, no safety and fatal consequences – free soloing.
What is the difference between sport and traditional climbing?

Is Megos better than ondra?
Alex Megos is the only person alive who can currently hold a candle to Adam Ondra’s lead climbing achievements. That automatically makes him one of the greatest sport climbers ever. Megos doesn’t have the same technique as Ondra does, but he more than compensates for it with raw power.
