Its a great sport and remember its not all about strength, technique is everything. I can guarentee that all the best climbers at the indoor rock I use are female, guys tend to grunt and think muscles get you up the rock face....... whereas most females realise that flexibility, balance, body position, climbing with efficiency are far more useful tools. ...[text shortened]... tely have a few lessons to get the basics for technique, then work on strength at a later stage.
