Three or four times a week seems to be the usual maximum (unless you're training super-super-intensely and your body can handle it).
But you'll need to build up to that over time: start with once or twice a week at first.
Listen to your body -- when you're still feeling tired from the previous session and/or you have DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), don't go climbing that day.
It's an especially bad idea to overdo things as a beginner climber, even if you have the energy to do so, because your tendons need time to strengthen; stressing them too much too early can lead to injuries.
For me, three times a week is my max and I really need to take a day off in between sessions. I can do other stuff, but not climbing.
