Gear:
Cliffhanger Climbing gym (cnr Grieve pde and doherty's Rd Altona) has a good gear shop.
Bogong Equipment (Little Bourke st, City) is the best place for climbing gear in the city.
BTW: All climbing gyms hire out harnesses and shoes.
Climbing outdoors:
Mt Arapiles, near Horsham, has the best climbing for beginners (and everyone else), has a good gear shop and many climbing instructors/guides.
Beginner climbers should learn from a professional instructor or join a club. Most universities have climbing clubs.
Disclosure: Used to work at Bogong.
