> (In reply to samwise24) As others have said, clubs are probably the best bet for getting outdoors. Before you do though, I would learn to lead indoors. Once you've wrapped your head around indoor leading, it'll be a whole lot easier to lead on rock.
I don't think this particularly matters, to be quite honest. People have been learning to climb outside for 100 years or so, and the 'need' to learn indoors first has only been around for less than 10 years.
If you climb outside, you can second plenty of climbs, which gives you far more opportunity to see how gear can be placed, how belays are constructed etc than climbing indoors ever will. You can always ask your leader why things have been set up as they have too...
It is the gear placement that actually requires the thought, rather than anything else, and you simply won't get any experience of this indoors.
