If you come to China and as a climbing fan, you can not miss Yang shuo, the best place for climbing.The heavily-eroded limestone offers wonderful settings as well as a wide range of hand and foot holds. The sheer variety that is available is enough to tempt any climber here, and many do find it hard to leave again.
There are several rock-climbing operators in town. Standards vary and it is worth getting local advice, especially if you are a total beginner. At least ask about about qualifications and take a look at how the equipment is stored. Ropes are your lifeline, and should be treated with total respect at all times. Walk away if you see these tossed casually on the floor. You should be provided with a helmet, and should wear it, especially at the bottom of the crag where loose bits of stone tend to get knocked down.
Becoming a mountain climbing guide requires a serious amount of training and experience.
1.Climb regularly. Go mountain climbing and skiing as often as you can on many different ranges. The more experience you can garner, the easier it is to take the necessary guide exams.
2.Take a mountaineering course. Some guide services such as Alpine Ascents International lead classes, or take courses the American Mountain Guides Association offers.
3.Receive certification from the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) and the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations by enrolling in courses and passing the necessary exams.
4.Seek employment with guide services, or become an individual mountain climbing guide. Some may not like the more restricted atmosphere working for a guide service, or the lower pay. It is up to the individual.
5.Read books on teaching. Develop some routines and exercises that you are comfortable with. You’ll need them to work with your clients and to evaluate their skills.
6.Prepare to spend time with people from many different walks of life. Be patient, supportive and make the client feel a part of the mountain climbing expedition, not simply a person on the end of a rope.
