How do i get started: I want to learn to rock climb.?
I want to learn to rock climb but have no idea how to get started. Usually, rock climbers Ive seen in Zion NP are there with special permits but the NP doesnt have any info on how to get started.
PLEASE HELP.
Also what is the investment moneywise: classes, gear etc.
Thanks
Look for outdoor and climbing clubs in your area. The local club I've belonged to for 30 years offers a beginner rock climbing course every Fall for around $50. Prices for instruction range from free to hundreds of dollars. Some clubs are associated with colleges. If there is a Sierra Club chapter in your area that might be a place to start. Also ask at outfitters shops that sell outdoor and climbing gear -- most offer beginner classes and are also aware of climbing clubs and groups in their areas. Even some community colleges offer rock climbing classes in the summer.
For your personal gear you eventually will need a harness, climbing shoes, a helmet and some carabiners, protection and descending devices and slings. For beginning classes good stiff-soled hiking boots or sneakers are OK to start with -- your instructors will help with that choice and the harness and hardware are usually supplied. You can outfit yourself for basic climbing for a couple hundred dollars. Usually several people who climb together will go in on a rope to share (which will run around $150 to $200.)
