Gear Rundown.

Ok so a quick guide on gear u will need.

Bouldering

1.Rock shoes
2.Chalk bag and Chalk.(Most climbing gyms do not allow loose chalk so get a chalk ball)
3.Bouldering Mat for outdoors

Top Rop Climbing.(Indoor)

1 and 2 from above
3.Harness
4.Belay plate
5.Karabiner

Lead climbing.(Indoor)

All of the Top Rope equipment and you will need a Dynamic or Static rope.

For Sport and Trad Climbing you will need cams, quickdraws ect.....

But for beginner climbers this should be enough. If you are planning on going outdoor climbing other than bouldering make sure you are with someone or people who know what they are doing.
