A mix of both? Most indoor walls have bouldering/climbing/auto-belay.
I joined my local outdoors group and the local climbing wall knew him so were happy to let him teach me to tie in/belay/ 'be safe' rather than their own instructor.
I'd get friendly with people you can meet regularly and climb with. You need to develop trust with the person on the other end of the rope.

Speaking of climbing. How does one recommend I begin? With a climbing class or with a bouldering class? REI run climbing classes which sound fun, but not sure if it makes more sense to learn about using your body etc via bouldering first? There's a shit load of good climbing centers here.
