In terms of gear, I'd like some help and perspective on the significance (or lack thereof) of certain features. Bottomless corners, built in risers etc. Anything you'd recommend for a novice or advise I stay away from? Thoughts appreciated. I want to make a sound decision in getting new gear. Cheers!

I'd recommend getting some training first.

In general, I tell my students to hold off buying gear until after they've completed a course, so that they can make a more educated purchase decision. During their first training course, they get to jump several different rigs, look at many others, and we have a lecture/discussion session on the various rigs available on the market.

It honestly sounds to me like you'd benefit from getting a bit more education before you throw down a big chunk of cash for gear.

Is there a particular school or course that's favored?

ive only been through one, but there are a multitude. I had an excellent experience at my FJC
