Re: Don't worry about belatedness :)

Stuff that helped me hugely when I was starting:

The Self-Coached Climber -- AWESOME explanations of movement principles if you are a person who learns best by reading about things then trying them out
Neil Gresham's Masterclass Part 1, which the makers have now kindly placed on YouTube for free. Ignore the stuff about training, it's not stuff that you should be doing in your first year or couple of years climbing anyway, AND is now massively outdated and unsound anyway, but the demonstrations of movement principles are sound and useful. Production style is extremely Of Its Era.

Also I'm spamming [personal profile] rachelmanija with my favourite climbing footage to watch and learn from in the thread here:
