Rock Climbing Rope
Is it safe to use a 7 year old climbing rope?
The rope was just used 1 year then kept out of the rock at house.
What a lot of people don't seem to understand that polymers will degrade over time, even if it's not being used or exposed to anything. I never trust any rope more than a few years old, even if still "brand new".

How to Rock Climb : Understand the Importance of a Dynamic Climbing Rope
Rock Climbing Wall - Learning to Rock Climb
Many people are first bitten by the rock climbing bug when they attend a party or event that has a rock climbing wall for guests to play on. After they have experienced the thrill of the sport, they want to learn more but dont know how or where to go about doing this.
The best place for an aspiring rock climber to start is on a rock climbing wall at an indoor climbing gym. It will be on the rock climbing wall that you will learn the techniques you will need in order to be a successful climber. A professional staff will be on hand to school you in safety procedures, familiarize you with the equipment and impart their knowledge so that you will be ready to rock climb in the great outdoors in no time.
It is not only beginning rock climbers that utilize the rock climbing wall. Seasoned veterans will use a rock climbing wall to perfect or learn new techniques and when the weather isnt conducive to climbing but they cant last another day without a rock climbing challenge.
When you join a rock climbing gym, people who share your passion for the sport can share their secrets of success with you as well as advise you on the best places to climb. You can join a climbing team, compete in climbing competitions, or just enjoy perfecting your moves for when you are ready to tackle those rock faces outside. You are advised to practice on a rock climbing wall before you take on the unpredictable and dangerous rock faces and gain confidence and skill.
One of the skills that are best learned on an indoor rock climbing wall is top roping. You will have two ends of rope dangling. You tie onto one end of the rope and the belayer will take up the slack from the other end by using the belaying device. When the person who is climbing gets to the top, the belayer blocks the rope and lets the climber lean into the rope. The belayer then slowly lowers the climber as he walks off the cliff backwards.
This is just one of the many things you will learn if you decide to take up the sport of rock climbing. Find a rock climbing gym in your area and get ready to get to the top.

Rei.com has all the gear you need.
Climbing isn't as expensive as some sports, but it's not cheap. The initial outlay for some top rope gear is several hundred dollars.
I agree with the previous answer that you should try on shoes and even harnesses before buying. A proper fit is important and with shoes you'll probably have to try on a bunch of different brands, models, and sizes before you find something that works. You can keep using your tennis shoes until you find that you mostly have to stand on your toes or on the edge of your shoe to use the holds – that's when you get a huge advantage from friction shoes.
As for the rope, here's a fairly inexpensive one for $170: The skinnier ropes are intended for Alpine climbing where you use two of them together. And whatever you do, don't go climbing with a regular rope – you could break your back. (Climbing rope is slightly elastic.)
You'll also need at least 1 locking biner and an ATC device for belaying. Here's a simple ATC for $18: They sell a figue-8 belay device for a few bucks less, but those are brutal to work with.
That's the bare minimum. Depending on the conditions, you might require tons more gear.
And of course, don't go climbing unsupervised unless you both know exactly what you're doing. One clumsy mistake and someone could pancake.

Our pup is a fence climber, so we use one of DH's rock climbing ropes (suuuper long) to tie her in the front yard (only when we're home)- and she loves it- would lay in the sun when it's 100F out! I hope you can get the fence fixed- I would be scared to death that our pup would get hit by a car if she got out (she is clueless about cars)!!!
