Hey ya'll, I have been lurking for awhile, and thought I'd finally come out and post my first post. I am fairly new to the whole hiking/climbing experience, but so far, what I have done, I have loved. And I want to do more. I have never actually "climbed" a mountain before, with gear and all, so I thought it couldnt hurt to post on here to see if someone would be willing to show me the ropes. I have done a fair amount of hiking, if that counts for anything. Can anyone help me out here?

Read the article, then Freedom of the hills. Best to start small: hike up mountains, backpack up mountains, hike and backpack up taller mountains learn to rock climb, etc.

This is where you need to be. How is the skiing in Vernon?

If you have some money, hire a guide and see how you like it.
Freedom of the Hills is the bible.
