User error? Sharma did put up 15a in Anasazis. There are a variety of things that could be going on. Both shoes are relatively flat. The Mythos is a much stiffer shoe. What type terrain are you having trouble on? Steep? Vert? Slab? It is harder to toe-in in a flat shoe on steep terrain, but I'd expect you'd have the same issue in the Mythos.

You know what sucks? Breaking your ankle on a warmup. But seriously, build a stick clip. It's like $20 for a painter's pole, alligator clip, and two hose clamps.

Once you chop a rope into the sub 50m range use it for the gym? I don't see a compelling need to buy a rope specifically for gym use.

The merits of cardio training for climbing are often debated, however in my experience a decent baseline is useful for recovery on endurance style routes. I think it's the Anderson brother's RCTM that says that running/biking adds unnecessary weight in the lower body (for climbing specific performance). Rowing is good for building strength and stability through the shoulder girdle, as well as in the rhomboids which are often neglected by climbers.
