How many pairs of shoes do you take to the cliff? One for warm up, one for slabs, one for steeper routes, etc? Trad, sport, bouldering? Is it necessary to have a pair for each style? Or have you found that if you size the shoes just right it works well for all styles?

maybe when i can climb harder than 5.10 i might need to consider specialized shoes

One pair is all I need to flail and fall......as I recall.
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

I used to always take 2 pair. But over and over again I would only use my best pair. So recently I have been fine to go out with a single pair.
