Start with a climbing gym. There are dedicated facilities; many YMCA's now have them as well. Develop finger and toe strength. Then, check out an REI or EMS training school.

For rock climbing, start with a rock climbing gym. You'll get lessons on climbing, belaying, and using ropes. You can also try joining a club after you're more experienced.

Climbing can be dangerous, the best way to learn would be to find an instructor in your area and get some basic lessons. Make sure to find out what specific climbing gear will be needed as well. Generally, you will start out on something easy and with training work your way up to harder climbs.
