I guess I would argue that the basics are either toproping off an experienced person's set up or seconding off an experienced person's lead. But I don't think it should include doing your own toprope/anchor set-ups for a while yet.

IMO, toproping kinda kills the journey-feel that comes with outdoor climbing. And I'm sure you'll find that when you've been outdoors a couple of times. If you're feeling a bit wary about the whole outdoor adventure and keen to stick to "basics" get someone to take you up some easy single pitches - there are heaps of super easy awesome routes to follow someone up that aren't too intimidating including single pitches you can just amble off the back of e.g.Bushrangers bluff or head out to Mitre Rock (both at Araps).
