I climb 5.11 level in the gym and really want to keep up my progress and not just suck when I come back to climbing... I go to school in another city with a nice gym and outdoor routes nearby... Now that I'm home for the summer, theres no gyms or anything... I will be doing a few outdoor trips this summer and trying to make it to a few gyms... But nothing close to how often I usually like to climb(3-4 times a week). I have a hang board and have been using it as well as my pull up bar... Is this enough? Or is it just inevitable that I will suck when I go back lol. (in the beginning of september) Jen

The only thing that maintains climbing ability is climbing. Cardio is fine, but there's specific stuff going on in your arms as you train to lengthen the time before you get pumped that only climbing can train.
Similarly, forearm strength, shoulder strength, technique, etc... running is not going to help you. If you want to keep your edge, climb (or do stuff as similar to climbing as possible).
