Default Rock climbing

I've been interested in rock climbing for a while but I'm not sure how to get started. I've done some mountain climbing before but nothing that requires the upper body strength of rock climbing.

Any advice?

If there are in-house rock climbing in your place then I suggest that is where you get started. They can even teach you the techniques on proper rock climbing. And also, try building up the strength of your shoulders and arms.
