What do women rock climbers wear?
For women, a loose t-shirt with a sports bra underneath is an easy option (and likely something you already own!) Light, breathable, flexible fabrics are recommended. Please keep in mind that the walls will have chalk on them from previous climbers and it’s likely some of of this chalk will transfer to your clothing.

What type of shoes should be worn to climb rocks?
If you’re a beginner climber, look for a shoe with a thicker sole. It will last longer as you work on your footwork technique and it will also provide more support so your feet won’t tire as quickly. Thinner soles are usually about 3 – 4mm thick. They’re generally best for smearing on slab routes.
Can you wear jeans to rock climbing?
Traditional jeans are too stiff to give you the mobility you need for rock climbing. However, stretchier jeans are perfectly fine to rock climb in. With that being said, though, I’ve spent years of my life climbing in jeans; all you need is a pair that’s stretchy and breathable enough, and they’ll work just fine.
