Easy Places to Rock Climb
Rock Climbing is still really new to me. It’s not something I thoroughly enjoyed before, but am learning that it’s way more fun than I thought!
Luckily I have a husband that loves it and a sister and her husband that go a lot here. So here are some easy places they like to take beginners to:
(The list is in no particular order, just coincides with the pics.)

Some places that rent out gear:
The Desert Rat - https://www.thedesertrat.net/
Dixie State’s Outdoor Rec Office
Another fun place for kids is St George Outdoors , they teach bouldering classes so they can get techniques down of how to rock climb without strapping them to harnesses.
One thing to remember is to go with someone that is either belay trained or has knowledge of how to help others rock climb. It’s also recommended for kids to have a full harness that fits well to ensure they’re safe.
What are your favorite places to go here? Am I missing any crucial beginner sites? If you go let me know what you think! We’re going to try it again because it was a lot of fun!
