I'm not sure if you know how the Yosemite Decimal System works....but you realize you are climbing stuff meant for 9-10 year olds? You should be climbing something in the 6.8b/c range by now.

You're so cool. I want to be you.

Anyway, no i don't want 'ego stroked.' I am a girl at lack that anatomy Tongue

I have in all honesty been climbing for a month and have been curious as to what all the numbers mean. I understand climbing inside and out are two totally different things. I've been out twice with some people and we mostly boulder. But I don't have my car here so getting anywhere is a bit hard.

I've just been traversing and working on getting stronger and making my moves as fluid as possible.

I know I'm asking noob questions, but sorry, but some of you need to lighten up, I'm getting very turned off by the attitiude some individuals have in here.

first of all, start with having some fun. then work on getting stronger. If you really want to train, investigate some books on climbing.Start with freedom of the hills then progress to Goddard,maybr some Horst, and fluxes's book is the latest training manual. All have their strong points. Remember in sports that demand extremely high levels of force placed on the joints, like rock climbing and gymnastics,it takes years(3-4) generally for the connective tissues to adapt to the stresses. With that being said take it easy and revert back to the having fun part.

in a nut shell

have fun
practice your footwork
BREATH
train your core (that is all muscles from in your case boobs to but)
climb often as possible
learn some rope skills
learn to lead
lead TONS of easy climbs OUTDOORS
And dont worry about the ego stuff , no climber will ever stroke your ego for climbing 5.9(unless your free soloing in Tualamine)

happy climbing
C
