touchstone climbing and fitness

[replacementparts]

Hello, all.

I haven't gone rock climbing in years, and then only as a special occasion, once a year or so around middle school age. So I'm essentially a complete noob.

I'm interested in joining these gyms in the CA bay area. Specifically I'd be going to Great Western Power Company and Ironworks, and probably some visits to Mission Cliffs, too. Anyone here use those gyms? They look really nice from the website but I haven't gotten to go check them out yet.

Any tips to keep in mind for someone just starting out?

And Cross-Fit, which looks insane but I hear it's great.

Yeah, zennish had some interesting comments about CrossFit over in lifting_heavy_things.

It sounds too structured for me (I reject your WOD and substitute my own!), but they seem to use a lot of my favourite exercises and tactics.
