Most every outdoor activities you'll need can be found right at home. If you have experience rock climbing, you may just think it is a hop, skip and jump to being able to handle ice climbing.
If you haven't done anything physical in a while, you really should try to get in shape before taking a long hike or a backpacking trip. Colorado is famous for climbing adventures because of the thousands of crags and cliffs that adorn Colorado's peaks and plateaus. Overnight camping trips are a good idea as by the end of the trip you have a fair idea of what all you need and it will help you prepare a checklist, which can be referred to for future trips.
A tent offers you protection above your head but you will still need something soft between you and the cold hard ground. Some flashlights do not through a very strong light and they are subject to going out in a breeze. Breathe deeply of fresh air, that's what it's all about.
When you do meet other climbers, it is like being in a social club, one that non-climbers can t begin to understand. You will also not want to forget the flashlights for times where you will be going off and venturing away from your car. The hatchet will cut the larger pieces of firewood down to size.
Read a good book with the wind whispering through the leaves. If you want to have a great summertime experience, try camping as a fun and educational vacation choice.
