You should do some searches on how to build your “trad rack”, the collection of tools you need to take with you on climbs. This rack varies from climber to climber and depends on personal climbing habits as well as rocks at one’s climbing sites. Thus, it’s hard to generalize, but I’d say you’d want to start with one full line each of nuts and hexes as well as the cams. Companies sell them individually and in complete sets. I prefer Black Diamond and Wild Country brands. Check them out
