OMG YAY!!! Go you! You should start a new post about your first time climbing experiences so people can cheer for you!
I climbed until my arms told me I was ABSOLUTELY FINISHED, which was not really very long.
Yup, that happens very quickly for everyone when they start climbing -- it uses a muscles in the forearms that aren't really worked hard by anything else, so they get knackered very fast.
You'll probably wake up tomorrow and the day after feeling pretty stiff and achy; hot baths help, and I've heard people recommend drinking a lot of water now.
But your body will adjust pretty quickly once you've been climbing a few times, even before you start building significant strength.
