Ask HN: Nerd - Climbing; what mountains to start with
After watching "Touching the Void", I have been inspired to go mountain climbing myself.<p>I'm posting on Hacker News as I've been a programmer for the past 10+ years and have no mountain climbing experience (nor the physique).<p>I'm wondering -- have other programmer types gone mountain climbing? And if so, what was the process? What mountains did you start with / what lessons did you take / etc ....
