Climbing Gear for Newbies

With Spring and the beginning of the Wasatch climbing season around the corner, I've gotten numerous questions from friends just getting into the sport about the vast options for climbing gear. In an attempt to de-mystify the overwhelming gear possibilities, I've put together a blog detailing some of the essential pieces of gear for both bouldering and sport climbing. Of course the possibilities explode with traditional (trad) climbing, so I don't get into passive and active gear. But if you're interested in learning to climb and need to figure out gear, this should be a good place to start.
