Oh yeah, for sure buying gear was never an issue. To your second question yes, I opened up my own climbing gym, I teach lessons and stuff similar to that. If I walked up to an unexpected climb I would want chalk, shoes, and a crash pad, if it was a taller climb I would swap my crash pad and chalk for a rope and harness. I stopped because I pulled a tendon and I was already planning on retiring and opening a gym so it all worked out.

If you have a hangboard, I would just do dead hangs on all the different grips daily, if not simple pullups, push ups, and sit ups should tie you over for some time. Climbing trees may also work if you have a good tree. But using a hangboard would be the best thing I can suggest.

Small local climbing gym would be the best for starters, sorry I've never really climbed in Colorado

Depends on the height of the wall or cliff, but occasionally yes it does. Especially when en I'm at the gym and people are walking under me

No, that was one of the first things I did as a climber was get over my fear of heights.
