You can rent shoes (and ropes and belay and helmet etc for top rope) but should buy your own if you're gonna do it regularly. Will probably want to buy your own chalk too to keep your hands dry and grippy

For rope climbing there is often a short line but not for bouldering, assuming it's a big enough gym. A lot of people take like 5-10 min between climbs so there's a lot of loitering but I can always find open routes even at the busiest times, great adrenaline rush and seeing yourself improve is 180

Rope climbing usually has employees guiding you in beginner stages but not after you get your safety cert (really easy), but I only really boulder

Bouldering is climbing without ropes up short technical routes, like 10-15 feet

My IFNB gym has a climbing wall that was built before it was turned from a clothmo gym to an IFNB gym. But no one ever uses it.

No you have mt thinking though. I should have my training twink climb it and leapfrom from 10 feet up onto my COCK. High risk of cock breakage though...

I do. I suck at bouldering though. I'm an endurance athlete with no real skill. I'll feel like a poseur though until I move out west and actually start climbing

Eh I'd assume 60% or more of the people at gyms have never climbed outside, yeah you feel dumb at first especially as you hear all the lingo around you but you adjust pretty quickly I think

I wouldn't say I have much skill either but in just a month or two I can do most V3's and some V4's
