If you enjoy rock climbing, then winters can be problematic since most of your favorite climbs aren t exactly accessible, so ice climbing may just be the answer to your problem. Don't add too many items that add to the weight of the backpack or you will tire out quickly.
Cutting up apples, separating orange slices, or taking along dried fruits is an excellent, nutritious way to easily have food on hand at all times. It is always better to go on a short trip to begin with, just to get the feel of the camping experience. 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.
You can enquire about possible locations for rock climbing from others who do it. On the days of really terrible weather, we would try to put up with it, but sometimes went home. I stopped getting blisters the moment I gave up hiking boots and hiking socks.
All in all, try to ensure you are well prepared, avoid solo trips the first time, check all your equipment before you leave and get some first aid training. Think over what you need very carefully before taking your hiking trip.
