If you're going to start climbing, hire the shoes, and just boulder for a while. Get to know the people in your climbing centre, then some will get you up top-roping, then after a while you'll be lead climbing. But just boulder for a while. Get the technique, and take time getting the finger strength. You'll gain in 6 weeks, for strength, what your tendons will get in 6 months! So go steady.
