I came across the following website recently, which seemed like a good source for free, basic climbing information: climbingtechniques.org

Beginners can check it out to see if their questions are already answered there, and advanced climbers should feel free to make suggestions/corrections to the website creators, as they are interested in making their site accurate and comprehensive.

Any other climbing reference websites out there recommended by users?

Here's another one that looks like a work in progress: www.basicrockclimbing.com/

www.chockstone.org/TechTips.htm

Mike Barter on youtube has good shit.
