**Find a Local Climbing Gym**: Start by checking out a climbing gym near you. They usually offer beginner classes where you can learn the basics and get comfortable with climbing techniques. Plus, it’s a great way to meet other climbers!

**Get the Right Gear**: You don’t need a ton of gear to start, but having some basics like climbing shoes and a harness is important. You can rent equipment at most gyms or outdoor shops. Once you feel ready, you can invest in your own gear!
