Rose asked: I’ve been looking at shoes for rock climbing, and maybe I haven’t looked in the right pace, but I need to find a shoe that is adaptable for rock climbing and water use.
I need the tread to still be safe if I were to go from water directly to an upward climb. Where could I find those type of shoes?

Frank asked: I am told that a strength component is necessary in a good exercise plan but I find weights and other resistance exercises boring.

Will I get a proper strength workout by rock climbing in a rock climbing gym 2 or 3 times a week or would I be better of sucking it up and lifting weights?

Please note that I am only looking to get functionally fit and not muscle bound.

Thanks for your help.
