Rock Climbing Tips for Beginners

MONDAY, 24 SEPTEMBER 2007

In the North Carolina Mountains, rock climbing destinations are aplenty. These include Cedar Rock, Looking Glass Rock, and Johns Rock.

Brian Williams, a Brevard Rock Gym climbing guide, suggests however that rock climbing beginners should start with rock climbing gyms first. “Most people would be more comfortable learning in a gym,” he says.

Williams also suggests hiring a guide who does not only teach beginners, but they also provide the climbing equipment, as well as teach safety protocols. “You’re going to be safe and you’re going to learn a lot more,” he says.
