Workouts at home

Ideally I would be able to go to the gym a lot to train, but it's too expensive and far away. So what are some good workouts to do at home to improve climbing? Obviously technique comes before strength, but it probably won't hurt to do some stuff, right (let me know if that's wrong)? Should I do core workouts? Pullups? Or just general fitness?

Edit: I do climb outside as frequently as I can, but it's only once a week or every 2 weeks. Just looking for some things to do at home on top of this for when I can't go climbing. 

before you get flamed you are going to have to be way more specific than that... and don't be lazy go look through the thousands of previous training threads and find the ones about training at home.

do your doorframes have a decent ledge on them?

there you go!  there's all kinds of body tension workouts you can do in a decent doorframe.
as a side effect, you may even start dusting them more often ;)

My bad, I was trying to keep it general since I'm just trying to learn more about it, hence it's in the beginner forum.  Didn't realize there was a training forum, I'll go check that out, thanks!

How often do you get to the gym? And if you are in Springfield, you are so close to Maple Canyon, or American Fork or... heck, in UT you can spit and hit climbable rock! Do you climb outside at all?

In the absence of the climbing gym or climbable rock, there isn't much that would make you improve as a beginner climber. Sure, doing almost anything active is better than sitting on the couch, so by all means, do pullups, do pushups, do core workouts (google core workouts for climbers, instead of just doing crunches), do yoga, go swimming, rowing, hiking, etc. whatever tickles your fancy. But none of this will have much of an effect on your climbing, unless you are overweight and/or weaker than average healthy beginner.

At the end of the day, the guy with the same amount of climbing experience as you, who is climbing at the same level as you right this moment, but who is going to hit the climbing gym 3 times a week, as opposed to your (?) once or less a week for the next 3-6 months is going to be climbing much better than you at the end of those 3-6 months.  Though you might become a much more well-rounded and physically fit person doing all the other things.

Yeah I pretty much only climb outside, and definitely go to Rock Canyon, AF and Maple. It's just hard to get out all the time with scheduling, friends schedules, and weather (big one). I can only make it out once every week or 2 weeks during the school year cause of these, so it'd be nice if there was something to do at home to help even just a little bit. 

i'll say it again. do finger strength exercises on the top ledge of a decent doorframe.
the earlier you can get into doing regular tendon building the better..

you can hold a weighted bag in a three finger open hang.. only engaging the shoulder and fingers... this also can build pump recovery in the hands

if you're feeling ambitious.. get yourself some nice wooden parallettes.  work those antagonists

Finger board workouts help if you can't get to a gym or climb outside often enough to stay strong.  Just be careful if you are new, as it's easy to over-do it.

I hope that information helps you.
