Where to start in mountain climbing?

I think the basic place to start would be hill walking (peak bagging in the States). Just get out and start hiking/walking in the mountains. There are several mountain ranges in Australia and New Zealand that are begging to be hiked and climbed. After doing peak bagging, you may want to consider starting climbing some tougher peaks, in both summer and winter. I’d recommend that, for climbing, you start by doing some guided climbs and/or taking some classes in mountaineering and rock climbing from a guide service. I’ve put some web resources for mountaineering in Australia below. Enjoy!
