Here we will try to explain some of the process in terms of speed and cost.

After careful comparison, the results showed that if someone wants to get the most effective experience or instruction, hiring a professional is best. 

If someone chooses to save money in equipment and professional instruction in the spirits of “doing it yourself” they should be prepared to develop at a slower rate and learn more lessons by mistakes.  At some point, depending on what your final desired outcome is, trying to save money or doing it yourself, will eventually costs more in time spent correcting those mistakes.

If you ask yourself, when does it pay to hire a guide? Take the time to evaluate your situation and desired goal, then do comprehensive research before making a final decision.

Sometimes it pays to be cheap. But at some point, you pay by being cheap.

Some benefits to purchasing your own equipment

You will use it, you know where it has been, you know how and where it is stored, you know how old it is, you can inspect it’s condition, you won’t have to drive to a store to rent it, you won’t have to wait for a store/friend to be available to decide and join someone climbing, etc.

Climbing equipment is not cheap

It never has been, it never will be. There are always great sales out there that we can all benefit from. If you are truly interested in the sport and becoming an avid climber, remember this – any money spent on renting equipment is money you will spend in addition to purchasing your own equipment. So renting is fine, if you are shopping around and looking for the best deals, but getting your own equipment will eventually be more cost effective.

What should an aspiring climber get first?

Experience! Take some classes with professional certified climbing instructors. Then go shopping for a harness, belay device, belay carabiner, climbing shoes and a helmet. These are just some of the essentials you will need to get climbing outdoors with friends who already have rope and anchoring set-up experience. Gear can be found in packages, but if not – buying them separately, is not that much more. What should you get next? More classes, experience, your own rope and anchoring equipment.

Some of you may wonder what and why do people go to specific areas designated or frequently visited by climbers. As a beginner, it is important to have sufficient information on routes to remain climbing safely in ratings that fall within your skill level. Most of the pre-established routes are made public for several reasons. One of them is so that other climbers can visit them, climb them, and keep them clean. The less an area is visited, the dirtier it will get over time. In summary, traffic on a route, keeps it cleaner.
