The suggestions you have so far are (most of them) from folks that have given solid advice on this site over the years that I've been on here. I will say that although I started out trad, I know a lot of folks don't because they don't have the gear. Personally, I found that after a bit of trad leading, bolts were just so darned convenient and sport climbing seemed a bit like cheating... but I LIKED it! So I support the wired stoppers and extra biners. Here are a few more suggestions- A cleaning tool. Lowe Tri-cams... if nothing else, they're a lesson in placement and patience that will make you better at placing spring-loaded cams. Not sure what you will be dealing with in the way of cracks, but I rarely go trad climbing without my Hexes without eventually wishing that I had them. (Of course, when I do bring them, they often don't work in the cracks I choose... life's funny, ain't it?) Get the ones you can replace the cords in, since replacing steel cable is much more expensive and difficult. Best of luck. Don't be afraid to come back and ask more questions. Now go out there and have some fun!
