>>2216259I'm sure the class will teach you things since you've only been climbing a few months, but I just started leading by doing routes way under my grade. I also have only sport climbed outdoors and don't want to pay some gymbro $70 just so I can pull on plastic with a little tag on my harness. You gotta be in the right head space to lead but it's very thrilling. IMO maybe spend some more time then a few months climbing and make sure your tendons are strong, but if you are confident in your ability go for it!
>What rope should I get? You should get a thicker rope for your first one like 10mm it'll last longer. 70m is a good length. Make sure it has a middle marker or better yet has two different patterns to make the middle even clearer. Dry treated rope is slightly more expensive but worth it in my neck of the woods. If you are in a place thats always dry you might not need it, but it does help the longevity of the rope. I store my rope in a $1 ikea bag but will get an actual rope bag soon as they are a real quality of climb improver.
