People I don't have enough money to buy 300$ worth of cams 80$ worth of nuts etc. I do have enough to buy 10ish quick draws, and yes I do want to learn how to trad climb too, but for now i'm asking about sport climbing so please just answer the question without starting a fight.

Sorry Reed it always ends with tears.
EDIT: If you want to pick up climbing chicks you will at least need some nuts.

Pick up John Long's How to Rock Climb and Freedom of the Hills, by Mountaineers Press.
Read them both at least two times and take it from there.
Be safe, and have fun.
Also, practice knots at home. Over and over.

And cue the old saying......climbing in general is just like sex....once you get past the smell....you've got it licked.

Climbing is way better than sex. You can climb all day, but sex only lasts 3-4 hours.
