If you're not in a rush, find a local climbing club. Talk with your new mates and see what they recommend for your particular area. More then likely, they'll even let you try their gear to see what fits you best before you buy or even accompany you to a gear shop.

And yes, I will only buy new climbing equipment and not second hand equipment, because that’s just taking unnecessary risks.
