Help wanted!! Getting started in Mountaineering 10-Aug-2014 At 4:04:27 PM Shaymaree

Hello everyone,

I am a 22year old Univeristy student. I have very limited experience havign worked 6 times on a travelling rock climbing wall, trekked the Inca Trail and Everest Base Camp. I am looking forward to Climbing Mt Kili next year although I am interested in getting into a bit more mountaineering/developing and imporving skills. I have been researching asscoiations and clubs in Australia who run Basic Mountaineering courses although I am unsure how to properly get started. Any hints and tips on how to get started and start tackling some larger mountains/ develop some serious mountaineering skills? I honestly have no idea! I obviously would like the cheapest way possible to develop skills needed to climb some peaks although I still want to take into consideration my safety. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you!!
