If I'm just getting into Climbing...

Hey, a couple of buddies and I are starting doing some beginning climbing, and wanted some ideas on where to start, more of a "wish I would've done that" list. Websites, tips, ideas, anything to help us get started. Found a gym in town that a lot of more experienced peeps climb at, but haven't really started going a whole lot; mainly there's a place in town that doesn't require a weekend to practice. The people there are not interested in really teaching us to climb there, (besides how to belay), so we'll have to find someone else, I guess.

Thanks,
BP
