The first three sound good, but Butcher's Broom?
I didn't know hotdogs were health food.

Just sweepings from the abattoir floor -- dinks and eyes, man.

stretch to assist range of motion, ease of movement, and more resistance to injury.
Develop hand, finger, and grasping strength by crushing up a sheet of newsprint in your hand without any opposing pressure.
Develop your balance,
maximize eye-foot coordination ie practice on stairs buildings and be aware of your feet and where you put them, practice edging... not in a gym!
control your weight.

Lynne-
Thanks for the advice. I'm on a really low dosage; only 2.5 mg daily. I'll only need it for maybe another 6-8 weeks. The program was started about 4 weeks ago. I've given up drinking for a while, too--even tho' I am not much of a user. Look forward to meeting you one of these days.

I'm not sure I agree. I consider myself exceptionally lucky to have so far survived my numerous mistakes. Hopefully, we are now wiser, but many of us got to this exalted position thanks to sheer dumb luck.

Oh phooey. There are gym rats in the fresh crop that blow the doors off any of us old-timers. What has happened is that gyms and guide services and other popularizers of climbing have enormously broadened the spectrum of people climbing, with a consequent increase in the competence and ability spread. So yeah, we might encounter more serious levels of incompetence, but the top end of the distribution consists of people who are just plain better at everything than the previous generation.
That would be me, and, apparently, you too Spocky. But hey, this is the way things are supposed to be.

I forget who said it, but true: "It's nice to be good, but even better to be lucky!"
