In reply to ImNewBeKind:
It's hard to say without knowing your age and base level of fitness/strength but I would suggest, if you are brand spanking new to climbing, that you shouldn't look at things like finger strength. If you can get out and climb at all, do that. If you can't I would focus on getting a strong base level of fitness/strength/balance up so that come the spring when the weather is good (or whenever the walls re-open), you have a good foundation to start learning.
Focus on improving your nutrition and fitness, as well as improving your strength:weight ratio (this is quite a big deal for climbers and some can take it too far but if you could stand to loose a couple of kgs, that will only help).
I would recommend getting a TRX or equivalent and a pullup bar if you don't have easy access to a playground or similar where you could do these exercises.
For pull strength - Hanging scapula shrugs and pullups (various)
For core - leg raises (various), crunches, planks (various)
And don't forget your antags. Climbing is often pulling but if all you train is pulling then you can build imbalances and are likely to get injured. Weight training and body-weight exercises like pushups are good to accompany pulling exercises.
If you get a TRX, there are loads of things you can do with them to improve all round strength.
You can safely train as a newb on a fingerboard if you know what you're doing but it is risky. Connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, etc.) take a lot longer to strengthen than muscles do, so if you go too hard, too soon, your new muscles can put a strain on them that they can't cope with and injuries will scupper you. That's why you will see a lot of people say as a rule of thumb to climb for 12-18 months frequently before doing any serious finger-strength training.
