I'm actually trying to go on a guided outdoor climbing trip that my gym's running in a few weeks, but that one's top-rope. About the same sort of advice? Any fiendish peculiarities for that approach in particular?
I only boulder, so can't answer this one. But if you make it a new post, then hopefully various people will chip in (that'd also be a good way to ask about any particular terms that are baffling you). And I'd love to see more posts in the comm by people who are not me -- I'm always afraid I'm spamming it. *g*

Date: 2011-07-07 07:14 am (UTC)There are a bunch of glossaries online -- these are some that came up when I Googled:
Wikipedia's glossary of climbing terms -- note: I had to Google "Alpine Cock Ring" because I was convinced it must be someone having fun messing with the entry, and no, it really is a type of anchor.
Touchstone Climbing: Glossary
A Glossary of Climbing terms: from Abseil to Zawn -- this is British, so there will be some transatlantic differences in terminology for you, but it's detailed, entertaining and informative.
