I have never been rock climbing. Until last week, I though it would be just like climbing up a very steep hill, but apparantly its more like cliff faces (vertical drops). What do I need to do to be ready, and what else do I have to do?

They always get frostbite and stuff. By now they should have some kinda technology to prevent the slightest bit of cold.

Do I need to buy a brand new little plastic latching thing for EVERY time I go mountain climbing, or can I just re-use the old one I have? Last time, when I went with my mom's friend, we only used one and it made some weird noises, so I was just checking. Thanks!!!!!

okay so i really want to rockclimb and this weeked i tryed it out.

i was doing fine and about halfway up idk what it is but i get this really bad anxiety and my whole body tenses up and it makes it impossible to climb. My hands just tense up so badly and even afterward I couldn't move them that well.

It's like I'm afraid, but at the same time i'm not because i know the harness will catch me. But is this just a fear mechanism that's messing with me?
Because in my mind all I want to do is climb up and I know i have the physical strength, but the muscles in my body don't respond.

I tryed this twice and the same thing happened and after I got down I was crying, and I don't know why.
SUPER SUPER JUST FREAKED OUT i had to take a lojng break.

What the hell man?

Often when I am on highways and other roads in the New York/ New Jersey area, I will see very large slightly angled rock faces with many holds that would be really cool to climb. Does anyone have any idea if it would be legal to climb these, as I would imagine that they are government property?

So I'm pretty new to climbing (well, other than bouldering, I've been doing that for years. I have good shoes, harness, carabiner, and belay device, but I'm trying to buy a rope now.

All the ropes I saw at REI were $150+, and I just don't have that much to spend.

So I looked online, but am getting confused by all the different types and thicknesses. Like what's the main difference the thickness makes?

Anyways, I just want a good all around rope that I can use for both rapelling, and lead climbing. I'll probably be doing a lot more rapelling than I will lead climbing, so I need one that can stand up to all that rapelling, but still be suitable for lead climbing when I need to. I'll just be doing fair weather climbing, and doubt I'll ever go above 50 feet, at least not anytime soon.

What would be a good type and thickness, and where is a good place to find a great deal. I'm trying to spend about $60-$100

I want to learn how to lead climb. I am very proficient at top roping climbs up to 5.10. I know how to belay, set up top rope anchors on outdoor cliffs, and I have a very basic knowledge of the tools used with lead climbing. I have access to a climbing wall that is part of my schools fitness center. The wall has quick links placed on it for lead climbing, but there is no one here that knows how to lead climb. I am asking if it is possible (read not stupid) to be able for me and a few friends to teach ourselves how to lead climb. Does it matter what kind of rope we use, static or dynamic? Do we need any other equipment besides that which is needed for top roping? Is there any information I need to know before I jump on the wall, (GOOD internet sites, books, . . . )?

I am looking for a recommendation on a good book that teaches basic knot tying that would be used on a high ropes course (I am training to facilitate groups). I am more of a visual hands on learner and have learned the basics from some people (e.g. figure 8 knots, bowland, etc) but would like to have something to refer to should I forget. Thanks.

I will hike up to 9,000ft on day 1 and spend the night there. Continue to the summit the next morning and back down to ground level by mid afternoon. I will fly at about 8pm for about 2.5 hour, reaching altitude 30,000ft. Is it safe?

I'm just a regular graduate student living in southern california..
just came to my mind about climbing the mt Everest...
but I have no clue on how I should start preparing myself.

I know it would take me many years to prepare for such a grand advanture but would like to know how I should go about preparing it.
Maybe a local mountain hiking would start me off? I have no clue.

So please share the knowledge~

Unless rap rings are provided in which the rappel rope can be withdrawn from, how does one avoid having to leave anchor gear behind in the rock, such as nuts, cams, slings, biners when rappelling off from a completed climb? I never could figure this one out.
