Contrary to popular practice, the internet is a terrible place to learn how to climb. While books might be great, they're also terrible for learning on when you have no point of reference.

Yes I know the internet isn't the most reliable of resources. However, I'm forced to rely on it for my climbing fix at the moment. Sad, but true.

Find an experienced friend who is patient and have that person show you the "ropes". Have them show you how to learn all of the skills etc. THEN read some books, etc and refine your skills and knowledge.

That is a very good point. I've still got a lot to learn technique-wise that books aren't going to do a thing for.
