Hello there. I'm looking to get into rock climbing and I need a full set of gear. I'm 5'5 weigh 160lbs. I don't know where to shop for this, and I don't know what all I need to have fun and of course...be safe .Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't buy anything - invest first in safe, competent, in-person (not off the internet) instruction.

After your first lessons, you will get introduced to the basics you need to start. What else you need depends on what you do and how.
"Full gear" might be anywhere between 200$ and 20,000+$.
