Located in Chamonix, France, the French Alps are a world renowned area that is suitable for all types of mountain sports. Since the terrain is rigid and high, you may think that the French Alps are only for those who are especially skilled in rock climbing. But, like most popular rock climbing locations, the French Alps offer a few courses that are suitable for beginner rock climbers!
Located in Washington, Mount Erie is one of the perfect locations for beginner rock climbers. While there are beginner rock climbing courses on Mount Erie, which you can complete yourself, Mount Erie offers a specially designed course, dubbed the Beginning Rock Climbing Course.

Located in Thailand, Railay offers some of the most exotic and breathtaking views that any rock climber will ever get to see. Be prepared to spend some time on the water, because Railay can only be accessed by boat. After you reach the shore of Railay, you will see a ton of tall and dramatic cliffs, which sit overlooking the glistening blue water. While Railay does offer its fair share of challenging courses, almost half of the trails are already bolted. Thus, it is easier to clip your gear and begin climbing. Those designated trails are not as rigorous as the other ones, so beginners are welcome to test their skills out there!
Located in Kentucky, Red River Gorge is about 2/3 full of sport climbing. Red River Gorge gained a lot of popularity in the early '90s. Ever since then, it has been a hotspot for rock climbers of every skill level. Red River Gorge is most popular on the weekend. During the weekend you can expect to climb alongside beginner, intermediate, and even advanced rock climbers. Thus, although Red River Gorge is perfect for intermediate and advanced rock climbers, it does offer a lot of beginner rock climbing options.
Okay, so this is not a specific rock climbing location, but it is perfect for beginners! When you begin any sport, practice makes perfect. Practicing often is the only way that you will become a better rock climber. Rock climbing is an extreme sport, and it can be dangerous. So, for beginners, the perfect location to begin rock climbing is in a controlled environment of a rock climbing gym. So whether you need to touch up on your skills, or you are not prepared to venture outside to climb a high cliff, then check out a local rock climbing gym!
Located in what's known as the "adventure capital of the world' (aka Queenstown, New Zealand), Wye Creek hosts an annual climbing festival every January. Wye Creek sits on a cliff that overlooks a bright and crystallized blue lake-something you could only find in New Zealand. While it may seem as if Wye Creek is only suitable for more experienced rock climbers, there are some trails suitable for beginner rock climbing.
Located in California, many view Yosemite National Park as one of the most breathtaking places to climb in around the world. Since Yosemite National Park is full of humongous domes and gigantic cliffs, it may seem as though it is only suitable for advanced and expert rock climbers. But, beginner rock climbers can try some of the shorter and more even rock climbing trails. Another perk of Yosemite National Park is the park's history and camping ground. Thus, even if you don't feel comfortable enough to attempt to climb an area of Yosemite National Park. The experience will be fun and exhilarating!
