Ok...I'm in a good mood this morning so I'm gonna reply so that the other 40 people who are gonna read this and wanna flame you won't waste their time.
1. NEVER buy shoes except in person. The exception being if you are replacing same shoes or have tried on and definately know your size.
2. I didn't even waste my time looking at that package deal link. You need to go to your local gear shop. You need to try stuff on....everything.
3. You are about to spend a crap-load of loot. You think "Hey, I found a sweet deal on climbing gear, we should try rockclimbing". So one of three things is gonna happen. Either you will buy cheap gear and never really get into it, or you will have to replace said cheap gear in a year or two if you do get into climbing, or you will buy good gear and not have to worry about replacing/upgrading.
4. Take a class/hire a guide. Do you know anything about anchors/toprope setups? The "knuckling" you are experiencing in your shoes is kinda like how your toes curl up when your "biner's around a tree" setup fails.
5. SEARCH THE THREADS ALREADY ON HERE. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, SOMEONE PROBABLY ALREADY ASKED IT.

There's a search function on this site. Please use it. There's an FAQ and about a thousand or so other threads with the exact same question as yours. We try to keep these forums clean so we aren't answering the same questions over and over again.

I understand you are eager to learn, but do it the right way.

1. Search before you post.
2. Get a guide and/or a mentor to teach you in person.

You didn't even bother to answer my queston about foot wear applying towards her, either because you didnt know or were to busy trying to act like some elitest dick.
...
If replying to questions in the BEGINNERS THREAD about newbie questions puts you in such a "bad" mood how about not replying and not wasting both your and my time?

Long-time girlfriend huh? Forget about shoes, when are you going to get her the gear that she wants (i.e. wedding ring)?

Hey guys just wanted to pop in and say hi, both myself and my long time girlfriend are looking to get into climbing her for the first time me with limited experience.

(i.e. wedding ring)?

Got a few gear questions on some package deals.

Make sure you get a package that comes with a bolt gun. It makes the anchors a lot easier to set up.

If you think that was a bad mood, I have one simple bit of advice for you. Leave. Now. Log off and never come back to rockclimbing.com. If you are that butt-hurt over WVU's very constructive post, you will be crying like a little bitch with a skinned knee when the nastier elements of this site start chiming in...

go to shop a shop and hang in the harnesses you are looking at for 5 mins each. any respectable climbing shop will have a rope setup where you can do this. the same goes for shoes. try em on, stomp around in em in the store for a bit. Synthetics wont stretch, leathers will, but get em snug, but not painful (save that for your next pair of shoes). As soon as climbing gear leaves the store, it is generally not returnable. This is why its so crucial to get the right stuff the first time, not to mention it'l just be more comfortable. And it isnt terrible to get expensive comfortable shoes the first time around. yes you will thrash them, but you can get them resoled for around 30$. So you wont have to trash that 120$ pair of Sportiva Mythos (soooo comfy, my first shoe) after a year or two, just get em fixed!
welcome to the board;-).

wow a whole lotta blah blah blah in answer to your question. yes support your local gear shop---they will have a climbing package deal [if they dont then they prolly dont specialize in climbing and will most likely be giving you bs advice about what you need].

no you dont need to go try on harnesses neither just get ones that fit around your waists. you aint gonna notice the difference when your beginning top roping. by the time you feel that your harness is inadequit you will know what you want and will be able to make up your own mind. shoes though you gotta try on.

BD [black diamond] momentum package or the ABC are both perfect affordable packages. again your local gear shop will most likely carry one of them. as to Bufo do a search and see what others have said about the shoes [no sense in buyin something you have to replace in a month in my opinion].

Ohhhhh....mostly bouldering. So you will need shoes, mattress, bong.

As far as the shoes I know the Defy's arn't "suppose" to stretch but from the reviews I'm reading both on this site and others they do seem to stretch some what so i'll keep my fingers crossed, there not that far off in size just a little too snug around the toes which is fine when I'm climbing i'll just have to rock the flip flops the rest of the time.

Yes, you will be needing a bong and an atc-sport. As far as beanies go, make sure you get one rated to at least V5. Otherwise you will just have to upgrade down the road. Also, your g/f is gonna have to stop shaving her pits.

Im going to go ahead and assume this is an inside joke.

You must be pretty frustrated. Your first time will likely be awkward. Don't worry; it gets better with experience.

Ha. I just noticed that. I think I'm going to leave it that way just for a laugh
