Also, why would anyone read this thread? I like to climb. Right now I'm in Boulder, soon I'll be back in TN. If you want to know something (about me), look at the profile. Peace.

random comment: Compressed charcoal is messy.
Yeah I'm incredibly new to climbing. I've been encouraged to all throughout high school and college but never gave in as I'm a little afraid of heights. This past weekend I was pretty much forced into it... and had the time of my life! I'm not in the greatest shape as I am a lazy college student so this feels like a great workout that I will enjoy. I'm going to buy my first shoes and other stuff tomorrow . My school has a huge climbing wall and I'm pretty hyped about doing some bouldering! Any advice for a complete newbie who has no real experience?

Here's some advice - get out as much as possible, and push yourself hard. The relaxed, I'll climb later attitude will leave a craving in your heart and a bad taste in your mouth.
Get the freedom of the hills (probably to best climbing/mountaineering book out there) and read it cover to cover.
Be driven and proud of your climbing, but be modest and friendly in your interactions. No one likes a douchebag, even one who climbs 5.13.
