What is the most important gear I could buy to start building up my climbing gear? Like carabiners, rope etc. I know about harnesses and heltments, but all the different types of rope and locking things confuse me. Or if there is a website that can educate me much thanks!

You should also get a PAS -Personal Anchor System if you are climbing outside. You might not need 15 quick draws if your routes aren't that long. The routes i was doing were about 60-80 and only needed 6-8 quick draws and maybe an extra one or two

For bouldering in the gym, you need shoes and a chalkbag. For bouldering outside, add a crashpad. For sport climbing outside, you need shoes, chalkbag, quickdraws (probably at least 15), a harness, a rope, a helmet, and some kind of belay device. Vastly more importantly, you need to know how to USE all of these things. If you have a local gym, talk to them about learning how to lead, belay, and other basics like that.
