Look for some rock climbing gyms in your area. I don't mean the kind of entertainment places with a gimicky rock climbing wall... I mean the true to form, die-hard rock climbing gyms.

These places are great and are filled with top-notch climbers that can teach you a lot.

Plus... it's year round, rain or shine. (I'd never climb in the rain, because if you're ropes get wet, they absorb dirt and erode from the inside out... even dry ropes).

You can also get some of the rock climbing grips and bolt them around your garage, on a big oak tree, etc.
