Read a lot. Climb a lot. Get the technical side down cold. Don't cut yourself or your partner any slack on that point. When you try something and it seems impossibly difficult ( like you'd need to be 100% stronger) you're probably a lot closer to doing it than you think.

People at your local gym can be a great resouce. Some may also buy whiskey for you since you are too young.

SciFiSanta, my response was serious. For a seemingly straightforward sport, there's a lot of technical stuff to learn and understand. Get it right. The ground is very unforgiving when it comes up at you fast. Get a good "How To" book for starters.

The question should be what's not right with the rest of the world.
