When I first began TR, I started reading anything I could get my hands on...and I'd ask questions from anyone and everyone. I was asking how to tie knots at the local gear shop even! I had no partners. I was sad. Eventually, at one point, I brought my room mates out climbing. Only one other group was out climbing. My future partner and his roommates. Weird. We all got pizza that night, and my future partner and I headed off to another local crag in the morning. We both read Freedom and Anchors cover to cover. We learned sport on a 5.8 by just getting on and going. We learned trad by testing pieces while on sport routes. I'm still alive!

Cool.
It's wierd how many different ways people get into it- hardly anyone goes the expected route of going through courses etc.
Edit to add: nice profile pic.

Even better part....my first multi-pitch was with a complete noob! Four pitches of slabby 5.8. I remember we were at the second belay for about a half-hour organizing ropes and tying knots. I had read about and practiced everything involved...but had never done it! I taught him step by step as we went! I think I was a little insane.
Edited to add: Thanks!

I remember my first multi-pitch route done without a "mentor" present.
It was Agag's Groove on Bouchaile Etiv Mhor's Rannoch wall.
A fantastic route. The approach scramble saw us already terrified, just 16/17 and still in school mind, and roped up. By the time we got on route we were shitting ourselves, but confident and excited none the less.
Mark set off first and the next 3 or so pitches went fine- then came the fabled "nose pitch" where you had to traverse out of the groove and onto a kind of hanging slab.
F*ck me were we ever scared. We sat there arguing hotly over who should lead it. I know what you're thinking, whoever is on the sharp end should get to lead it but that wasn't the problem- the problem was we didn't want to lead it, we were both way too scared.
So we sat and argued, pointing out who was stronger, who had done more multi-pitch routes (none so scary as this, btw) etc.
Eventually we got so heated that the fear wore off and we got used to the situation, and it somehow turned into an argument of who was going to get to lead the pitch.
Mark got it, it was lots of fun but sure was scary.
We were that close to abbing off...
