Okay, first remember, I'm not a trainer. I'm just a 44 year old who does what he can to keep playing outside.

Get with someone local who understands what yur goals are. You seem to have several things you like to do that are fitness related. Unless you want to be world class in any one thing, find workouts that compliment more than one thing. When I lift weights (which I need to do more of) I work routines that help with both paddling and climbing. Between running and on and off road cycling my lower half is pretty well taken care of. I also enjoy swimming for whole body fitness and core strength.

Now probably someone on the board who is certified and really knows what they are doing will shoot all kinds of holes in my advise.

Above all have fun at it and don't make it work, we all do enough of that.
