5 years to learn how not to backclip????? well...that's the hardest part!
Young lady...go lift hard, train hard, be NOT scared, fall a ton on stuff over yer head (and tell anyone who gives you grief to f-off), go try some onsights, do a bit of groveling/bein' scared but not in a death situation, listen to Distel32 and boulder as much as you can (and tell anyone who gives you grief to f-off), go on as many roadtrips w/ different people as you can possibly manage to as many different areas/types of climbing, and never pass up a free tr on something (even if you or others think you got no game being on it)...
in short have fun while you climb and most importantly, just go and climb!!!!
