Mountain climbing has been around as long as man needed to travel across rocky terrain and felt the urge to explore. It can be a very dangerous sport, so make sure you train properly before attempting it and know how all of the equipment works. There are various indoor rock climbing arenas around now to help you familiarize yourself with the sport and equipment. It's not an overly expensive sport, but you will need to shell out some money up front as you need to purchase boots, a rope, a harness, backpacks, a helmet and other accessories, but if you take proper care of them they could last for years.
