There are training courses offered by a number of outdoor organizations at little or no cost, and courses offered by commercial guide services at significant cost in many locations around Utah (where you say you are). Some good places to locate such courses are the bulletin board at International Mountaineering Equipment, REI, Black Diamond, and the many other outdoor shops in SLC and other cities in Utah and neighboring states. These shops also have books on sale that provide much basic information (but reading does not substitute for mentoring by an experienced trainer).
