Used to climb every Wednesdays. Gave it away due to a forearm injury, but then switched to tae kwon do.
Climbing was great fun!

1- not often enough (every couple of months)
2- 18ish? I'm pretty shit - i rely on strength rather than technique
and my fingers are still pretty weak
3- Indoor, uni of newcastle gym (we have an 18m wall :D)

Yep! I climb both indoors and out on a relatively frequent basis. I am only a level 18/19 climber, but i enjoy it. I am better at indoors though.

I used to rockclimb heaps, every sunday at The Pitch, and occasionally top roped or bouldering outdoors. I got lazy and bored and have since stopped, but my siblings still compete and a lot of my family still go to The Pitch most sundays.

I rockclimb at my gym once a week. I hate it, but my dad basically dragged me along. He said it would toughen my mentality...

i do a fair bit of caving and canyoning and there is a fair bit of climbing involved, but we usually dont climb a pitch longer than 5 metres or so. prussiking is so much easier :)

i do a bit of indoor climbing at the ledge (sydney uni). haven't climbed a long, exposed cliff face - yet...

I've been climbing more or less weekly during Semester I of uni at The Ledge...

like most I'm climbing about 18-19; I've also seconded trad routes at Mt Piddington on two occaisions (awesome experience if you can find someone to take you!) and have sport led up to about grade 18 at Nowra, pinkpointed 19.

lol it's a long way to the top as they say...
