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?

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.
