the diary of a [newbie] rock climber

i've recently discovered the intoxication that is rock climbing. what follows is a collection of random thoughts, experiences and images related to my newbie rock climbing adventures. note: climbing is a dangerous activity. these are only my opinions and shouldn't be substituted for good sense and education. climb safely and at your own risk.

endurance training and where to climb?

my goal this summer/fall is to climb outdoors once a week or so, join a climbing gym some time this winter and then get ready for some '06 spring climbing. i'd like to do more. hopefully i can meet some people to climb with.

until i join a gym or start climbing outside more regularly, i've decided to to try some endurance training exercises i came across online. it's a ten week program. this week i've been working pushups, plie squats, reverse dumbbell wrist curls, and pronators. since i don't have access to a gym at this point, i've been working on pullups as well. i've also been spinning at 24 hour fitness 3x a week for about two months now to make the heart a bit stronger.

today, my height is 5'8, and my weight is 138 -- i need to gain some weight! speaking of weight, i recently bought a box of oat-rageous health bars by promax. Pretty good mix of carbs/proteins/fat. yum too.
