At the same time, i feel slightly worried (especially for the guys, several of whom have asked me how to increase strength... halt right there, wrong focus!!)
As a novice climber, most important is good technique as it will bring you the fastest improvement in the long term. Overcoming routes by strength bring momentary pleasure but 'zero' gain. Strength training could also potentially lead to injuries if you hop too fast onto the campus board without supervision (pls don't). Injuries will make you very frustrated like our unlucky captain.
The impt qn is how to improve technique? As long as you are willing to learn it will happen - Look at other ppl climb (and then copy like Kakashi), ask others to spot what you are doing wrong, ask others how to do it right, visualise yourself doing it and think think think how different body positions will affect you, what technique is appropriate, experiment!
