  • Answer:

    Climbing gloves are great for aid climbing, when all youll be doing is placing/clipping gear, hammering pins, and jugging lines, but honestly if youre doing free climbing I would strongly recommend against gloves. If you are new to the sport, youre hands will hurt, but you will eventually build up callouses. You can not climb effectively with gloves on, at any level, better to get used to it now. I will occasionally wear gloves for long belay sessions, for comfort, but when climbing closest thing Ill have to gloves is tape, for crack climbing.

I think you should build up your calluses for the climbing and use the gloves to prevent rope burn.

I totally agree with Boz...I would also add that gloves are really nice for long rappels. But for most climbing, I need to have the tactile sensation of my hands on the rock.
