Where do you live? If you're close to a climbing wall, go hang out there and meet up with people who climb. If not, search out climbing areas near you and hike out and strike up a conversation with climbers about climbing. You will be invited to join and try it out...we're friendly like that.

Go to Adrenaline climbing in Suwanee or Active climbing in Athens. These are the closest gyms to you. They are good gyms and can teach you how to be safe for the outdoor aspect when you are ready. Or you can go do like the other man had said. I would recommend learning the basics before jumping in the water. As long as you learn from someone who knows what there doing youll be alright.
