I would kill to beable to climb that often. Being in the military full time plus working a part time job really takes away from one's climbing schedule.
I really only get a chance to climb about once every couple of months.

I'm thinking it's at least 14 hours a week. Maybe 20. It depends if you are counting weekends or not. I average 6-8 hours a weekend. Then I usually get out for a couple of 3-4 hour sessions a week. It helps to live in a city that has tons of climbing < 45 minutes away.

On average I would say 6-10 hours. Sometimes more if I go out on the weekend.

Not having a job helps me but this last week I spent about 20 -25 hours out on the rock. I'd be out more but my buddy's all have jobs

Ya, having a job blows when it comes to climbing. I get about 10-15 hrs a week, but sometimes it's way less and other times (much better times) it can be way more.

gotta love the availability of climbing in CO...
