Hi
In descending order of priority (so stop when you run out of dosh):
Shoes - £70. Allows you to boulder without buggering the rock and to enjoy the moves
Harness - £40. Allows you to train indoors and partner someone with kit
Belay device and screwgate - £20. Don't have to swap belay gear.
Helmet - £40. Allows you to lead, and to second in places where rock is suspect
Set of wires - £60. You can get a full set for the price of a couple of cams
Set of extenders (5) - £50.
Nutkey - £10. Or your wires will be a repeat purchase...
Some tat and a maillon - £20. You now have enough stuff to get into trouble; you need enough stuff to get out of it.
Set of hexes - £50 (for the sizes above the wires).
Some snapgates - £25.
A couple of extra screwgates - £15.
2 x 120 slings; 2 x 60 slings - £30. Use the rope until now
Set of 3 cams 1-2-3 - £100. 20% of the total of everything you've spent so far on 3 bits of gear. Don't get them stuck
One half rope - £90. match the length (but not the colour) to your partner. Nobody likes a rope freeloader.
More small wires - £40. Double up the small sizes, perhaps in a different make.
More cams: 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 - £100. Cams are expensive. Second hand can be good. Fakes aren't.
The other half rope - £90. You wanna bring along a buddy and return the favours you had earlier up the list, right?
You could enjoy 1000s of routes with that.
