If you're looking for a good cardio workout to do that will help your climbing, the answer may be climbing. Head to the gym/crag (preferably the gym so you don't block a route off) and run laps on a really, really easy route for 30/40 minute circuits. Climb up and down, milk rests if you really need to but try to keep moving. If you get burnt out early then the route is too hard. Not only will the cardio help you lose weight/gain CV fitness, you'll also be getting a disgusting amount of milage moving over vertical ground, so it could help shape up your technique as well. Don't do that at the gym unless there's no one there. Nah. Unless the gym is really crowded I will do this. I really don't care if you have been working a route in the gym. The gym is a gym, it's for training. How are you gunna get annoyed with someone because they are using it for its intended purpose? No gym that I've gone to says that its purpose is for training. Where'd you get that idea? Made it up over the internet? 
Saying you shouldn't run laps on a route because people might want to climb on them is like saying don't swim laps at the pool for training because some people might want to play in the water there.

I'll do it whether the gym is crowded or not. It's just one route.

Better yet, pick an easy bouldering route and go up and down repeatedly. Everyone wins!

Another note, when I try to run ARC circuits on a bouldering wall I often get a strong temptation to just step off. That same temptation isn't there when you are doing routes with your training partner there holding the rope. Makes it easier to keep going and not switch to just doing problems.

If I'm ARCing on the vertical bouldering wall I'm much more tempted to kick the birthday party brats in the head that keep getting in my waymore than anything else. Ah, the joys of the climbing gym.

Most effective weight loss plan I've ever seen: http://en.wikipedia.org/...ool#Physical_effects. Statistics say an average of .5 lbs/day.
