Looking to get started in mountain climbing, need advice

Hello,

As you can tell from the subject, I want to climb mountains, but I’m not quite sure where to begin.

From what I’ve read already, I need to read and train, and get involved with experienced climbers.

The first two seem pretty straightforward, but the third one is proving to be a bit harder. Are there any climbing clubs in the area that work with beginners? Or, does anyone have any other advice?
