I am pretty new to climbing and I am woundering what are the necessary equipments needed for standard sports climbing. (Rope size, brands, others.)

Buy reputable brands.

Rope length depends on crag.

# of quickdraws depends on crag.

If you know or climb with people at your local crag, try to mirror the gear they are using to get started.
