I will not be doing too much training that is specifically geared towards the climb as my current training regime is pretty suitable I believe. Here's my normal winter workout schedule:
Mon: 2-5 mi warmup run (15-30 min) + 75 min Lift (back, chest, shoulders, abs)
Tue: morning: Military PT (60 min aerobics & stretching) + 60 min basketball
evening: Stationary bike 60-120 min
Wed: 2-5 mi warmup run (15-30 min) + 75 min Lift (back, chest, shoulders, abs)
Thu: Stationary bike 60-120 min
Fri: morning: Military PT (30 min warmup then stretching) + 90 min basketball
evening: 2-3 mi warmup run (15 min) + 75 min Lift (back, chest, shoulders, abs)
Sat: 2-3 hr bicycle or stationary bike
Sun: 2-4 hour bicycle or stationary bike
I will be substituting the Sat/Sun rides with snowshoeing and hiking, which is about all I'm doing that is specific to the climb. When the racing season is starting up (Feb-Mar) I will be dropping most of the lifting during the week to practice instead, and will be racing every Saturday and Sunday.

My lifting program is not "heavy" lifting; I'm lifting for strength and endurance, not bodybuilding. Everybody is different, and I have found for me that one day of rest between lifting sessions is quite plenty, especially when I'm off both days on the weekend. When I'm doing 4 days a week I lift Mon, Tues, Thur and Fri, but when I'm doing that I work different body groups on Mon & Thurs than I do on Tue and Fri.
FYI, the lifting I do is for my motorycle racing, not for outdooring, which I don't feel requires much lifting at all. For me, a little lower back stuff, maybe, but that's only if I'm not getting out doing the activities for real.
