Whether you're doing indoor climbing or outdoor climbing, it's best if you can climb about 3-4 times a week. Climb for about 3 hours each time is good enough.
When you're in a rock gym, you can either climb the big wall or boulder. Bouldering is low-to-the-ground climbing without a rope. Most bouldering routes are harder and require more strength. I personally like bouldering better because it's more challenging and there's no need for a harness, belay device, or a partner. All I need is climbing shoes and chalk and I'm good to boulder!
You probably want to work hard to become a better climber faster, but you should do that without pushing yourself too much. DON'T CLIMB EVERYDAY. Your body needs to rest and your muscles need time recover. Make sure you take days off because those days are very important for your body. Climb every other day instead.

i just started climbing at the gym like about 2 weeks ago and i've been going every other day about 2 hours a day, but my forearms never feel that sore the next day. does that mean i'm not climbing hard enough when i'm there?
No. The only thing that soreness indicates is that you're doing an exercise that your body is not used to. Once you've been doing an exercise for a while, you can still do it and cause a lot of fatigue and damage to your muscles without getting any soreness.
