Working on getting together a set of gear for setting up top rope anchors in a reasonable variety of scenarios, from the list below is there anything major missing?
- 2 double length slings
- 2 normal length slings
- 4 Locking carabiners
- 7 wiregate carabiners
- 30' 1" tubular webbing, climb-spec
- 2 pieces of 21' 7mm cord
- 60m rope
(Each climber has their own harness/belay device/ shoes etc)
Based on reading / discussion and lurking here this seems to be more than enough for any top rope setups, not including ones that would need nuts/cams/other gear.
In addition I was planning on tossing in a piece of carpet for protecting over the edge and a towel for potentially protecting a tree.
I was thinking like a 12"x12" piece of carpet would be enough, any thoughts? too big, too small?
Anything I am overlooking?
In case it's relevant this will be for gunks area climbing / peterskill.
Thanks for any input.
^^Edited to add:
I will be going out with more experienced climbers and possibly hiring a guide in the future, my purpose for posting this here is more for feedback as to whether I am missing anything for a basic "kit" for setting up a Top Rope anchor in most reasonable scenarios.(ie not needing to place pro)
