First Time Climbing?

Start by searching for a local rock gym near where you live. This can be done easily by looking up on google or other search engines. Most rock gyms have all the equipment for rent, but you should wear clothes that are easy to move around in. If it's your first time climbing, you should ask a worker there to be your belayer (the person on the ground that holds and controls the rope).

Equipments that you need:
1. A harness:

2. Climbing shoes

Rock climbing shoes should be half a size smaller than your regular shoes. They should fit tight and shouldn't be very comfortable to walk in.
3. Chalk

As I mentioned above, most of these equipments can be rent at any rock gym. Expect to pay about $5 for each equipment, and about $10 for admission.
