It's the muscle in my lower back just to the left of my spine and just above the butt - I think it's either the oblique or the gluteus medius? Well, OWWW.
Above or below the top of your pelvis?
Off the top of my head, I'd suggest trying gentle foam-rolling and seeing if that makes it feel better or worse (if worse, discontinue foam rolling, obviously). Also soaking everything in a hot bath.
2) am I supposed to be getting DOMS there or is there something specific I'm liable to have done wrong for that to happen?
Can't think of anything specific, and you're not "supposed" to per se, but climbing involves moving in a tonne of weird ways (all of which your body is totally infamiliar with right now), so having DOMS in places where you didn't even know you had places is pretty par for the course.
