In reply to: "The Gear Room" I don't have one of just my rack(s) yet.. :wink:
You could open up a shop with all that. And I thought I had a bunch of gear.

this is most of my free climbing rack...the most recent picture of it, anyway...the climb above me (the Fox at Red Rock) ate up all but about 3 of the aliens.
thanks to cavitycrew for the pic
for those who care, that's only 1 of my 6" cams- i have two. I also have a set of bros that isnt in that pic, and a couple of other cams.
i do use a stick on the bigger cams- typically my #4.5 Camalot and bigger. I think a couple of those sticks broke that day, so only the #6 got a stick. Yes, I carry it to make it smaller, and no, i've never had a problem with it.
edit for cost and weight:
weight- well, the whole thing is obscenely heavy. general rack clocks in around 9 or so pounds, i think.
cost- way too much. retail is somewhere in the $3000.00-$4000.00 range for just the trad gear. add in clothing and aid gear and its enough to buy the car that carries it around.

Since there has been a few rack pics theads before, lets do something interesting.
Recently there have been two other rack threads:
How much does your rack weigh
How much does your rack cost
I say we combine those two with this one. Post pics along with weight and cost. Previous posters could edit their posts to include that.

I amy have learned something new from this pic...and I am really interested in finding out if your new #6 C4 is racked partially "cammed" on purpose. if so what did you use? did you do it on purpose? what kind of problems can arise?( I can think of a few) I am guessing you did this to make the am smaller. I have never seen or heard of this before...let me know.. Thanks. accident or master gear racker??

John,
The #6 C4 looks larger than life! I would make my second (sherpa) carry it around until I was ready to use it!
BTW- I'll probally secure one for my upcoming trip to the valley. All my friends will have big cam envy!

There is a better way than using a stick. Cut a section from a wire coat hanger so that when you thread it through the cam there is about 1/2 - 1 inch on either side. Use a needle nosed pliers to make a small loop out of one end. Then tie a piece of string from the loop to the stem. This keeps the cams smaller on your rack and when you need to use it, just bite on the wire and pull it out. This can be done one handed as opposed to the stick trick that can sometimes take 2 hands. This doesn't damage the cams but I wouldn't store them long term this way.

I guess us "amateurs" can only assume that you are putting yourself in the category of *Professional Gear Whore* then? ? :wink:
I actually round up my gear every now and then to take a photo, and add anything new to my inventory for "Insurance Purposes". If it was to get stolen or my place burnt down, my agent told me that without an itemized list and photo evidence, That I would have a really hard time getting compensated for any of it.

OK, I'm jealous of most of these, but this was the one that made me go FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCK. Big rack hanging in garage, cool. Enough gear to cover a bed (and C1 a retaining wall), sweet. A truck door (is that an old jeep pickup or a toyota?) worth of cams, droool. SO MUCH SHIT YOU HAVE TO PUT THE BINERS VERTICAL LIKE A FILE DRAWER AND THEN GET UP ON YOUR LEDGE TO SHOOT THE PIC....speechless

Yup, meant to say something about that, too. not sure if you gain points for that being your chalk bag or lose them for depriving that item of its god-intended purpose.

I just went through flagstaff_climber's photos to see if he has posted any pics of his rack. Sadly there aren't any. He puts all of you to shame. 120+ pieces in cams alone. He could climb El Cap several times over in one pitch if there were a rope long enough.

Looking at this pic from just a couple months ago, I'm really amazed at how much my rack has grown. For an 18 year old dirtbag with no income and poor parents, I don't do too bad! Someone out there must love me...
Here's a lot of my gear, including highlining stuff, so don't ask about the massive shackles. :lol:

Not pictured: 60m rope (mammut, not sure what style), 2 pairs shoes, couple of chalk bags. Best part is that all the cams, nuts, hexes, gear sling and 1/3 of the biners were bought at once for $220. I'm pretty sure I've spent at least that much on all the other biners I've got.

I finally got around to laying all this stuff out and taking a picture. Let's see, what do we have here...DMM cams, a couple Aliens, Stoppers, a few tri-cams, and all that other stuff. I love looking at this thread.

Note: I couldn't get the picture to show up in the thread, if anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy to oblige.

Whats up with the one dude, whose garage looks like a godamn climbing shop! Four helmets all nicely placed, Gri Gri's on the Ol' Gri Gri hook?
Or the one guy with so MUCH shit, "JUST IN CASE I ever start to think about mayybe ever actually thinking about doing a bigwall, I better buy 1000 biners, five pulleys plus a wall hauler, a spool of static line, 5 belay devices just in case I drop four of them. 20 daisy chains, And four haul bags all from a different company.
Stop photoing that shit and UUUUUUSEEE IT.

Yes, you have a nice rack, but it's sooooo well organized!!! *sigh*
Sir (or miss), you have stolen my heart with that peg-board and arranged by size system of yours.
Now I just hope my boyfriend does not see this!!!

The gear that sits on the pegboards are obviously not used all that much since they are on pegboards right? I mean, geeze, it sure must take a while to pack and unpack everytime you go out and climb. Is much climbing done with the gear sitting on pegboards?
I probably shouldn't be so sarcastic. Sometimes I wish I had a fancy pegboard with all my shiny climbing gear sitting above my bed, or sofa so I can stare at it as soon as I walk in the door! :roll:

I find it much more efficient (and less "pretty") to use rubbermaid totes.
come home, dump into appropriate bin and you're done!
no pics of my kit, it spread from here to NY and CO. one day, I'll get a pic of it all

It ain't my rack (though with the DMM's it could be), but you'd be surpised how often a #5 gets used when you actually carry it. Kind of like when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail, but it seems like the more you carry it the more you see the placements.

I'm far too lazy to post pictures of my minuscule rack. I am a fan of that one with teh biners vertical though.
My total gear consists of:
1 60m 8mm canyoneering/hauling rope (static)
1 60m dynamic
1 100 foot dynamic
4 Yates Zipper screamers
6 Yates Ice Screams
4 BD Turbo Express Screws
3 Omega Pacific Screws
7 Ti Screws
Mountaineering axe
1 set of cheap tools (hammer and adze)
one aggressive Grivel mixed tool to complement previous tools when necessary
Givel G12 crampons
Old Cassin crampons that don't fit
La Sportiva Trango EVO GTX boots
2 pairs of shoes (La Sportiva, one newer, one torn to pieces)
Full set of nuts (don't know brand)
Full set of hexes (don't know brand)
5 old style forged friends (#1 and #2 doubles, #3 I believe)
4 BD Camalots (0.75, 1, 2, 4)
Various packs and backpacking gear (stove, pad, sleepnig bag, etc)
Headlamps, avy beacon, shovel, backcountry gear
8 Omega Pacific draws
5 slings (2 48's, 3 24's)
A few assorted free biners
3 ATC's (1 smaller for 8mm rope)
1 reverso
2 harnesses (BD Alpine Bod, no name brand other one)
1 chalkbag (finally caved in)
That's it. It's not as much as the list makes it sound like.....it'd be REALLY small compared to most. Also, I got most of it at a fraction of the retail cost because I watch eBay and this site's classified ads compulsively while at work. Friends + full set of hexes and nuts and a few assorted biners = $82 with shipping. Not to mention the other stuff I got great deals on.
Probably the thing I'm proud of is that my assortment of cameras would put all but professional photographers to shame:
1. Canon EOS Rebel-Ti (film)
2. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (350D)
3. Mamiya 6x7 RB medium format 220
4. HP Photosmart 5 mp
5. Olympus 3.2 mp with 10x optical zoom (much older)
6. Standard VHS-C or whatever video camera
7. Sekor 90mm lens for medium format
8. 50mm lens for Canon mounts
9. 28-130mm lens for Canon mounts
10. Lightweight backcountry tripod
And naturally a fridge full of film.
I live in a room that measures 8 feetx11 feet. I have my bed, desk, desktop computer, books, guitar + 2 amps + mini recording studio, clothing, 2 snowboards, skiing skins, 3 sets of ski poles, all climbing gear listed, tv, DVD player, sleeping bag, backpacking tent, guitar bag, sleeping pad and various other assorted things all in that room. It's a nightmare how efficiently the space is used.

lagarita:
Not as fast as I'd like.
The 50mm is f1.8, the 28-130 is f4.0....pretty slow. The Sekor is f3.8 but it doesn't much matter because the medium format is strictly tripod only. No way could I hold that thing still, it weighs a ton with the heavy lens and back. The f1.8 works nicely though in almost all conditions and I use a tripod liberally.

This is what we takes to Indian Creek. Took my girlfriend and I a few bucks and years to gather.
Camalots: 1-#4.5, 1-#4, 2-#3.5, 7-#3, 10-#2, 11-#1, 10-#.75, 9-#.5, 5-#.4, 5-#.3, 5-#.2, 3-#.1
Metolious: 7-#5 BLK, 2-#4 RED, 5-#3 ORG, 5-#2 YLW, 5-#1 BLU, 1-#0 PUR, 2-#00 GRY.
1 set Black Diamond Stoppers.
1 set Wild Country Rocks
1 set Black Diamond Swedges
22 quick draws
8 shoulder length draws
5 double shoulder length draws
I find that in the smaller sizes the Camalots and the Metolious cams sizes fit in between each other well. Very important to get the right size goin in the thin sand stone cracks.
The stoppers and rocks are about the same size but have different tapers
allowing a fine tune fit in cracks.

the thing about Indian creek is that even with as big a pile of stuff as that is, there are STILL routes that you'd need to borrow gear for.

In reply to: definitely an Indian creek rack. Still light on the big sizes, though
That rack may be many things, but "light" is not one of them.

There's some kind of photo compression/resizing or something in some of these pics look really twinkly. Also, go back and look at Kristin's post on page 2, must have posted a new file under the same name :lol:
I'm embarassed by how much I like this thread. I need to get a camera and contribute, but my rack is basically euroford's minus the ice gear and with a less coherent collection of runners.
Weak as it has been, this winter needs to end, or at least give us some clear enough weekends for some gloves-on aid fests at D-Lake. I'm tired of walking past the gear closet and peeking in longingly.

I'm a college student now with a part time job and I work summers, but just be glad that you have a job in high school. The school that I went to didnt allow us to have jobs during the school year........or even have cars (it was a magnet boarding school) . Take what you can get and be happy with it.

This is my modest rack. It's the third rack I've had. The first two were stolen.
The first one was ripped off at JT in 1987, while a few friends and I were out night climbing at Echo rock. I had every bit of climbing gear I owned in my truck,as I was just finishing up a month and a half climbing vacation
at Yosemite, Colorado, and finishing at JT. Every bit of aid, free, and misc.
climbing gear, I've collected since 1966, GONE, except for my rope, shoes, harness, and some QDs
I had while I was night climbing. :x
My second rack was stolen when somebody stole my truck and camper
from in front of my house. I got the truck back, stripped, with no campershell and no climbing gear. :x
If any of you are climbing on oldstyle gear, that has DWs stamped on them, You might be climbing on some of my old gear.

In reply to: http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=68817 This is what we takes to Indian Creek. Took my girlfriend and I a few bucks and years to gather. Camalots: 1-#4.5, 1-#4, 2-#3.5, 7-#3, 10-#2, 11-#1, 10-#.75, 9-#.5, 5-#.4, 5-#.3, 5-#.2, 3-#.1 Metolious: 7-#5 BLK, 2-#4 RED, 5-#3 ORG, 5-#2 YLW, 5-#1 BLU, 1-#0 PUR, 2-#00 GRY. 1 set Black Diamond Stoppers. 1 set Wild Country Rocks 1 set Black Diamond Swedges 22 quick draws 8 shoulder length draws 5 double shoulder length draws I find that in the smaller sizes the Camalots and the Metolious cams sizes fit in between each other well. Very important to get the right size goin in the thin sand stone cracks. The stoppers and rocks are about the same size but have different tapers allowing a fine tune fit in cracks.
that almost made me vomit on myself

cmajercz:
The answer is...because we can. My gear, for example, is organized by size and type and hangs on four (count'em) four sheets of pegboard in my garage.
There is a disco ball, two bar stools, and a sound system so that I can enjoy my gear fully.
And it's all brand new, because 90% of my rack was stolen in January and I just replaced the whole thing.
If you think I am kidding, you are wrong.
I don't know how to post pics to threads, but there is a picture of my rack in Cracklover's profile.
Now...POST UP! :)

ugh, that's terrible...
I would cry for a few days straight if I had ANY gear stolen
I can't even imagine a whole rack.
with all these stories of stolen racks I think I'm going to start
hiding all my gear in the spare tire spot in my trunk.

Wooo Hooo! Thank you Tradrenn!
That is the rack that was stolen, minus about 20 cams and a set of nuts. If they sell it peice by peice on ebay it will take a lifetime.
If you look closely at the alien that is sticking out of the computer drive, it looks like there is a dimple! Is this true?

In reply to: Wooo Hooo! Thank you Tradrenn!
You're welcome.
In reply to: That is the rack that was stolen, minus about 20 cams and a set of nuts. If they sell it peice by peice on ebay it will take a lifetime.
Can one insure a rack ?
In reply to: If you look closely at the alien that is sticking out of the computer drive, it looks like there is a dimple! Is this true?
Where the hell is Brent_e when you need him ? :lol:
In reply to: 11 Pages and all I have to say is: false advertising.
I can only respond to this with:
In reply to: pony up, as in, show your rack. |

Jeez, tradrenn,
You're making me look bad. A tipped out black alien and cams that lost their colour coding.

better??? the flash made my shiny unused gear look even shinier and more unused.

sorry to hear about your rack. Did you get compensated through insurance?
And that alien doesn't have a dimple! stamped 1102. would you like it? 35 bucks. place less than 10 times (more likely around 5). anyone?
Best

I am working with the insurance company now. Because I was away from home they only want to cover a portion of it. Luckilly, I have a really good string of work right now, so I can replace it while I wait.
At the end of the day, I have a much lighter, newer rack now, whether or not I get reimbursed, and I have a job to pay for the new stuff.
Everything happens for a reason, who knows why, but it was time for me to have a new rack, I guess.
-Kate.

a zero or a ballnut would likely fit.

I have been avoiding this thread for a while because I didn't have a rack for a long time. I should post a pic ASAP I wonder if we could get a rack growth over time for some users.
Myself, I started with nothing, but now I am up to a rack to head up most walls. If I get into aid in a couple of years, then I will have to get about 5 times the gear. I will have to repost then.

In reply to: Can one insure a rack?
In general, yes. It sounds like Kate is having some trouble with her insurance company, but many renter or homeowner insurance policies cover personal property in the event of theft, etc.
Some general information can be found on About.com. As always, it pays to carefully review your particular policy.

I've had this picture floating around my HD for almost a year now, and I haven't gotten around to posting it on this thread because it was never posted on any of my on-line photo galleries. Well, today I'm home sick, and all that is gonna change!
http://colocalders.com/...C_1522_POD.sized.jpg
Origional image here: http://colocalders.com/.../DSC_1522_POD?full=1
For some reason, I don't see the other set of nuts or our tricams in this picture. The stuffed goose is mandatory gear for the crag dog. The best part is we just got the REI dividend, which will add three more cams and 2 big bros to this shot!!
Now, if only it would stop snowing...

Oafy, with any (?) due respect, you sound like an idiot. Unless you're just joking, which isn't apparent in any way. There's nothing wrong with having your opinion, but why the hell would you even look at the thread if it caused you so much pain? The title should have been enough to keep you away, now leave the gear whores alone, I have much to learn and aspire to.

Dude, I have two AMT (long before ERTL bought them) 289 Cobra models I built when I was 15-16, (we're talking, 1969-1970). one has the original 289 (but has a real aluminum hood Imade to replace the plastic one that got lost, and in the other I put a hilborn injected SBC, and has the "LeMans Hardtop" that used to come with the old AMT kit.
I still have them, wanna see Pics?

Yeah, I bought a boatload of the things over the course of the last couple years, bummed out when they went up from $6.50 each to $7.50.
Those J-shaped OP wiregates in Jake's pic are pretty nice too. I have several of those that I got in some OP QDs. I removed them from the dogbones though, and use them with runners.

I bring my rack everywhere.
Interesting though, I was climbing with some friends and friends of friends in Boulder, CO one being G. Neptune. That guy is a minimalist and hardcore old school. G. pulled out his rack and it was a few nut, slings, a hex, and a swami belt. My bro pulls out his big rack of cams and looks at G.'s rack and make a comment like "don't you own a store in town and can have all the gear you want"? G. says ya, I love selling all that gear to people.

Hehe, Purple zero is my necklace when im trying to pick-up girls in hippy bar in the Canadian rocky, it give the "cool climbing dude" look a lot of credibility. I am also a whitewater kayaker but after trying wearing the spray skirt and the wet suit in a bar, i decided to stick to the climber dude !
Hehe, i just got a really good deal on it brand new and it should be on ebay soon.

OK.. I am really confused.
The link you posted is a photo of a friend of mine climbing in Canada, 20-some years ago?
I don't know how much gear he has now.. but back then it would fit in your pocket.

Maybe she meant to link to this photo?
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=68276
It sounds like the original link took two other posters to their own photos, while it tells me no photos exist. As I don't have any, that would make sense.

In reply to: This is my modest rack. It's the third rack I've had. The first two were stolen. The first one was ripped off at JT in 1987, while a few friends and I were out night climbing at Echo rock. I had every bit of climbing gear I owned in my truck,as I was just finishing up a month and a half climbing vacation at Yosemite, Colorado, and finishing at JT. Every bit of aid, free, and misc. climbing gear, I've collected since 1966, GONE, except for my rope, shoes, harness, and some QDs I had while I was night climbing. :x My second rack was stolen when somebody stole my truck and camper from in front of my house. I got the truck back, stripped, with no campershell and no climbing gear. :x If any of you are climbing on oldstyle gear, that has DWs stamped on them, You might be climbing on some of my old gear. http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=69076 Asendr gets the Gold medal tho, for RACKS!

7-pound backcountry rack used last summer in the Wind River Range.
Tricams, Stregor titanium cams and DMM quadcams, Aliens & WC Rocks.
The carabiners have since been replaced with WC Heliums, and the Camalots have since been replaced with Max Cams.

This one has to be my favorite. Minimal, yet enough gear to climb safely.

I love looking at the routes completed, or at least reported attatched to all these racks. I have an obsenely large rack in my mind, but I only have 20-25 cams and bunch of nuts pins and hooks (which I never use). I have a ton of ice screws but I only have like 8 that aren't totally dull. I am amazed by some of the Indian Creek racks out there though. I met a buy that had 20 #.75s, 20 #1s, 20 #2s, and 20 #3s. he had all kinds of other cams but those 80 were what impressed the hell out of me, because they had all been used to no end. Mind you he has climbed "tricks are for kids".

In reply to: Interesting though, I was climbing with some friends and friends of friends in Boulder, CO one being G. Neptune. That guy is a minimalist and hardcore old school. G. pulled out his rack and it was a few nut, slings, a hex, and a swami belt. My bro pulls out his big rack of cams and looks at G.'s rack and make a comment like "don't you own a store in town and can have all the gear you want"? G. says ya, I love selling all that gear to people. MD
I can totally see that exchange happening. I had the honor to climb with another of the Colorado "vetern" climbers with a nice light rack. I was a bit embarrased to bring my whopping load of gear out of my pack.

Question for brutus: How many draws/slings/whatever do you carry with that rack? and in what configuration?
Your rack looks pretty similar to my normal free climbing rack, but I find myself carrying too many draws. I've been pondering getting the cams re-sewn with long slings to help with that, but I do tend to place a lot of passive gear so it might not help much.
It would also probably help to replace all my biners with something lighter, but one thing at a time...

In reply to: Question for brutus: How many draws/slings/whatever do you carry with that rack? and in what configuration?
For a week in the backcountry, 10-12 shoulder-length runners and two "double-shoulder-length" runners made of the lightest slingage available -- sewn 6mm Dyneema I think? plus 2-3 screamers.
I normally wouldn't carry all 10-12 runners for a lead, but for a week-long trip, it allows me to leave a few if necessary at rap stations without finding myself short at the end of the week.
Configuration depends on the situation... moving fast, wandering terrain, runners over the shoulder with 2 carabiners on each. More than 5 in this config tends to tangle. Lots of fixed gear, runners tripled and clipped on the harness. Carrying all 10 runners for a lead, with less need for speed, runners over the shoulder with carabiners racked elsewhere.
Sometimes a combination of the above.
In reply to: Your rack looks pretty similar to my normal free climbing rack, but I find myself carrying too many draws. I've been pondering getting the cams re-sewn with long slings to help with that, but I do tend to place a lot of passive gear so it might not help much.
I had the slings lengthened on the Stregor titanium cams pictured, but in most cases I still find myself adding a runner to prevent walking. (pun intended)
In reply to: It would also probably help to replace all my biners with something lighter, but one thing at a time...
That's pretty much how I replaced mine. One thing at a time.

Since I started reading the forums here, I'm learning new things about climbing and climbers every day: for example, you all love to brag shamelessly about your equipment! Are you compensating for something? But I guess it's part of the aura of being a macho rock climber, isn't it? Heck, as long as it works for the ladies ;) But that could be a topic in itself...
At least in one respect bouldering may be superior: not so much s*%&t to carry ;)
But then I am just a noob... what do I know?

Socrates; do you intend to jusy keep on bouldering, or do you intend in the future, to get into trad and sport climbing?
If you are just going to be a boulderer, then the sickness will not affect you.
If you do start trad and sport leading, the symptoms will come on quickly!
One of the first symptoms will be that, you will start fondling your climbing gear, and you get the hot sweats, wet and clammy hands, when you walk into a climbing store. The disease progressses very rapidly, and the next thing you know,
YOU are a GEAR WHORE, just like the rest of us!!! :lol: :lol: :P :twisted:

And you are so on the money with this one. As I was writing this I was already considering that I'll soon get bored of rock-hopping and want to do some climbing and then I will certainly get the disease. Actually, I want to try climbing soon... I just need to find a group of people who will put up with my "greenness" for a while.

I just saw that picture recently, thought it was on Tom Frost's website. Certainly looks like they're out for sale. Cool picture though.
In reply to: well here is the best place as any.. what # hex either BD,WC or Metolius curved = #3 C4? i don't usually hit anything that big but would be nice to have if= i found a spot without the weight/price of the cam.
BD specs:
#3 C4: 50.7mm-87.9mm
#10 Hexentric: 55.6mm/75.2mm
#11 Hexentric: 65mm/89mm
Looks like a combination of 10 and 11 hexentrics would do it. Those are some big hexes. Get 'em slung and you can use them to hunt small animals.

You're right.. looks like a gear shop. Ice tools without so much as a scratch on them.. how do you manage that?
If this stuff actually get used (which we know it does) this is someone I'd have no problem lending my gear to, it would probably come back in better shape. :wink:

I get it from a specialty fabric store that has rolls and rolls of every color and width that you can buy, by the meter.

Look on the desk and you'll see a 2" roll. I'm sure scissors will fix that (or a band saw will make you 3-4 rolls)

Yeah, I've got the 2" stuff on my trekking poles and piolet; even cut some down for my helmet.
I'm just lazy and would rather find some 1/2" stuff :lol:

My daughter and I have been going to the valley to climb each summer.
Next week we leave for a couple weeks of relaxing climbing above the trees on smooth granite.
This is the first year I've been able to have such a great rack.
We're climbing as a 3 person team and using the normal two 60's setup.
In all my years I've never been able to afford such great gear; This is the first year I've actually retired gear that wasn't totally broken or obviously unsafe.

If you have a daughter you eventually end up with cats. It's like gravity.

Vertcaltrip,
I see you canibalized the 4 draws fro racking biners for the cams.
I'd recomend getting more 24" runners and making "trad draws"

Okay, had all my gear out from my vacation anyway, so I snapped a pic this afternoon:
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=76005
Missing from this photo is another 2 ropes and my ice climbing gear.
Also missing from this photo is my husbands gear which I draw upon when I need anything more than a single set of cams....now he has a big rack!!! I'll see if I can get a pic of our combined gear when he gets home.
Find this rack is a pretty standard go almost anywhere rack. While I did like using a triple set of cams while out at Devils Tower, I find that this rack is good for 95% of the routes I normally get on.

Because I have a weakness....and that weakness is that I can't resist buying climbing shoes on sale. They'll wear out eventually, and it often seems easier than a resole.
Out of the 6, there are two main pair I wear. Then one pair in the photo should probably get a resole. My old anasazi velcros should probably be quarentined but I keep them around for home bouldering wall/my feet hurt to much to wear my new ones. The other two I bought at the 5.10 outlet years ago (so cheap! so cheap!) but are a little more specialized.
I would have more but I actually gave a pair to Brent that I wasn't using, and I couldn't find my really big pair of climbing shoes (I can wear huge warm soxs in them in the winter).
My plan is to eventually own more sport specific shoes than dress shoes. I think I'm actually not too far off :D.

So looking through all these photo's. I love gear as much as the next guy, but some of this is just out of control. Even climbing a big wall with so much gear would be out of hand. The Indian Creek racks, I understand the need for 10 #1 cams. If your keeping a spare rack to support a second team of climbers with no rack. Otherwise, what do you need with so much gear? Seriously, you should share some of that gear with the less fortunate of this world. Some dirtbag kid or the local kids at Potreo in Mexico. It is your gear, and do what you want. Hearing tales of people sporting 150+ cams. Just think how cool it would have been to be starting out your trad life and having some crusty hardman drop a couple of cams or a set on nuts on you to start things out. Climbed with Fran Baker in Red Rocks, and he keeps two sets of nuts on his rack and when he gets a new set, he gives the old ones away to who ever. Just know you would quickly become some kids hero, and probably spawn a new trad climber through your generousity. Sermon over, Amen.
That said, everyone needs to keep buying too much gear. Keeps the prices down for all of us, so don't think hating on the whores. If I had the cash, I'd be a whore too.
edit: To clarify, I did not intend for this to criticize anyone for their giant-Jenna Jamison stye racks, although it reads like I did. Just wanted all to consider the nobleness of handing their unused gear down to those who could really use it.

^^^^dude, i don't know what you have in texas, but i need a big rack for all the crap i climb....for choss alpine to bomber granite...i climb trad, aid, solo aid and alpine.....solo aid, you need twice as much gear (in case you drop something)....and in squamish, some routes take special racks (though 90% of the time its the same basic rack)
big racks is one thing....big shiney racks is another :roll:

I posted this on the general board but didn't get much of a response. I'm just wondering whether my sister's homeowners insurance would cover my rack, cameras and other possessions.
She owns the home, I rent the entire basement of the rambler from her. I don't have a contract with her and I dont' have renters insurance. I just pay her cash monthly, kind of on an as-needed basis.
Would I be covered under her policy? (I'm assuming I'm not listed on the policy, since I just moved in 4 months ago and she's lived there for 2+ years)????

Losses sustained on her property are covered under her policy, typically. You would really need to read the text of the policy to really know for sure. Often, part of the reason for the policy is to protect her from a lawsuit. In this case, and not completely ethical, but if she just claimed it as her personal gear, then it would be covered. It would probably help to have recipts and such, or at least pictures of the items in question. Planning an insurances scam? LOL I only joke, I would hate to have my rack theived from me, as small as it is.

haha, no. Thanks though. I think my uncle burned his own garage down, but those are only suspicions, and that was nearly a decade ago. But my whole family suspects it.
No, my girlfriend hit an elk the other night while I was in the car, and so we've been dealing with the insurance company (she has comprehensive). It got me thinking about that kind of stuff, and my nice road bike was stolen on the DC Metro about 4 years ago and it was covered under my parent's policy, but I was just checking to see if I would still have coverage. Otherwise I'll be looking into the cost of renter's insurance.
You know....seeing a looming elk ahead when you're going 55 mph+ is enough to get you thinking.

Rental insurance is only a couple hundred a year... DEFINITELY worth the price. Just get like $50k coverage...

does it depend on where you live, the type of place and what is being insured? I know I could just call someone about this, but I spend a lot of time on RC.com lately, so why not ask here?
I mean, it's got to cost more in southeast DC than in a quiet suburb in utah, right? Maybe I can get a smoking deal.
I can't really afford a couple hundred a year right now, I just lost my job. But that's another story.

People really take photos of their racks? I guess it's no surprise that most of the photos there are of nice and shiny gear ;). Maybe folks should think about climbing with their racks instead of posing with them!

i assumed it was a little slim for some routes, yes. Cool, though! do people out there prefer the forged friends? I've heard that a few do because of price and durability.
thanks for the response

I love the nut tool with built in clip, racked on a beiner.
As for the number 1's, you should be able to get a couple of those fixed and have to replace them (with the stem bigger than the lobes).

I am curious as to why people organize their gear like this. Why don't you just keep everything you use clipped to a sling so you can just take it and go?
seems like a lot of extra annoyance to hang up everything when you get home, and then clip it all to a sling when you need it.

Personally, a couple of reasons:
1.) I'm bored silly because I can't climb and at least fiddling with the gear gives me some sort of happiness.
2.) I used to have everything on a sling, however, when I took it out of my pack one day I noticed that one of the wires on a smaller cam was pretty bent due to being crushed under a pile of gear. Not bad enough to toss it, but bad enough that I stopped keeping everything in a heap for fear of having to retire gear due to the way it was stored.
3.) I have the extra room, so why not? :D

It's not too bad, switch off who brings the rack each time we go climbing. So it ends up that I throw it all on a sling in a pack 2-3 times a month. If I know I'm going out twice in a weekend I'll keep it all on slings. It takes all of about 5 minutes to get out the door and I have peace of mind that gear isn't getting tweaked in a pack.

Thanks Brent...
I actually climbed Seneca about 2 weeks ago. That put the icing on the cake for my shoulder. Haven't been able to lift my arm above my head without pain since. BOOO!!!
My climbing workout now consists of practicing speed racking. That's why I have my times down. By the time this thing heals up I'll be able to get all my gear on the slings and be out the door by the time my partner picks out which tank top goes best with her shorts.

To each their own, but I see a middle ground. If you like keeping your gear separated on individual pegs, there's certainly no harm. I have a closet for all my gear. I keep protection on one sling, and quickdraws and tripled slings on another. both hang on a hook, and I make sure nothing is twisted or tweaked when I hang them. Wires aren't bent, and pro is ready to go. Seldom used pieces go on a found 2' runner on another hook. Other hooks hold webbing and spare harnesses, smaller packs, helmets, etc.
Some things like my harness, shoes, chalk bag, cordalette, and a few lockers rarely leave the pack between trips. They aren't things that can really tangle or get tweaked in the bag, and I use them on almost every outing. I grab that, the necessary slings and hardware, the rope(s) du jour, and I'm ready.

I also rack/store everything up seperately when i'm at home. I look at it as a time to inspect the gear. As I take each individual piece off the sling I get a chance to look for any damage before I hang it up.

I may have posted it in this thread, probably not and I am not up to sifting through my posts to find it... (I have posted it elsewhere, though.)
My simplified storage system:
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=76186
My trad gear in one bag. Quick Draws and sport crap in another bag. 3 ropes in thier own bags. Rescue crap in it's own bag. I have a dedicated storage closet for my misc outdoor crap.
Believe me, by the time you've finished your call asking me to join you for a day at the crag I'm packed, out the door, gassed up, and on the road.....

that's good and crappy all at the same time.
:lol: speed racking! You'll be able to somehow unclip the draw from your harness and snap the rope into it in a fluid motion with one finger.
:lol:
being hurt sucks.

In reply to: In reply to: In reply to: http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=48300 this is most of my free climbing rack...the most recent picture of it, anyway...the climb above me (the Fox at Red Rock) ate up all but about 3 of the aliens. thanks to cavitycrew for the pic I amy have learned something new from this pic...and I am really interested in finding out if your new #6 C4 is racked partially "cammed" on purpose. if so what did you use? did you do it on purpose? what kind of problems can arise?( I can think of a few) I am guessing you did this to make the am smaller. I have never seen or heard of this before...let me know.. Thanks. accident or master gear racker?? There is a better way than using a stick. Cut a section from a wire coat hanger so that when you thread it through the cam there is about 1/2 - 1 inch on either side. Use a needle nosed pliers to make a small loop out of one end. Then tie a piece of string from the loop to the stem. This keeps the cams smaller on your rack and when you need to use it, just bite on the wire and pull it out. This can be done one handed as opposed to the stick trick that can sometimes take 2 hands. This doesn't damage the cams but I wouldn't store them long term this way.
Yeah.. The sophisticated technology that goes into the stick though allows it to be LNT compliant.. so to speak. Wire Coat Hanger? Not so much. My $0.2 USD
ja.

Truth be told, they're clipped to the outside of the pack. They'd be in the closet anyway, so no big deal.

well, the wire coat hanger has a keeper cord on it so it stays with the cam- so, its LNT. But i'd worry that a big cam like the #6 would bend the coat hanger easily....
fwiw, my rack has grown substantially since that pic was taken- it's roughly doubled in size, bringing my cam total to just over 50 with 6 full sets of stoppers....i sort of lost control in the last year or so! :)
on the bright side, two more sets of hands and fists stuff and i can go to the creek on my own!

Actually it doesn't bend it much. I use the thicker wire hangers and they rarely get bent, and never while on a climb. Occasionally they will bend in your pack but they are easily bent back into shape. YMMV.

Whore.... That's what you are.... A gear whore!!!
But that's ok, since it is people like you who'll own a creek rack that keeps the prices low for the rest of us. :D

That rack is far to shiny, at least you could roll it around your back yard of let your neighbors dog play with some of those cams before showing a pic of it.

well, what you can't see in the pic is the buffer and various buffing compounds and sandpaper. After a weekend of climbing I spend a day or two buffing them back to a shiny brilliance. Its a lot of hard work, but the results are apparent. :wink:

Why do so many people have to make comments about how shiny someones gear is? It is needless, it is vain, it is patronising and it is tiresome. This isn't directed personally towards any body. It is just an observation and statement, so save the time you might have spent flaming on preening yourself in the mirror.

I'll be honest I am much more comfortable placing shiny new pro than hippy Jim's reslung forged cams from Ray Jardine's garage shop. My rack is pretty shiny, and feel free to judge me on it.

When i say getting close to finished....i kinda refer to....what safely and confidantly allow me to climb almost anything in my area.
you are right though. I could have 10 of every cam, and i would still not be finished

climbingtrash, meet a can of worms.
it's the rough plug mould for an ice tool handle on a blank that fits trango tools and the start of a composite mould.
see, to make the final mould you need to make basically the final product before you actually lay any laminate, but you make it out of wood (or foam, or steel or aluminum, but wood is good for this application). after you make the wood/foam/al mould you have what's called a plug mould and you can then make the moulds that the laminate is going to sit in. Bascially you make a copy of the outside of the mould so when you lay the laminate you get the same as you had initially.
yar
that be it.

i can't make any money doing it, but it feeds my passion of figuring how to build something and make it better, etc.

Here's mine, I just went OCD and made a new storage system a few hours ago. There is another #3 and BD nut set elsewhere.
Its around 15-20 lbs and costs more than when I stopped counting at $1000
22 assorted draws
2 of each C4 .5-3; 1 C4 #4 and #5
1 Black, Blue and Green Alien
1.5 BD nut sets
7 assorted lockers
Couple hexes
ATC/xp/guide
Trango (I think "Shark") Nut tool WITH knife; Oh yah, a knife on a useful tool, You know I'll buy it.
Unfortunately it isn't done quite yet, but is it really ever finished? fortunately Christmas is soonish and that will finish my current wants and needs.

In reply to: Well, I finally accumulated a decent rack and I can put a picture (poor quality, sorry) of it on here instead of drooling over everyone else's. Everything except the sport junk: draws, ropes, shoes, etc... This rack will get a person up most climbs unless they're ultra splitter or really wide. http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=80248 BD camalots .75 - 3 Metolius power cams 2 - 8 rigid friends #3 & 4 DMM .5 Set of Metolius Curved Hexes Set of ABC nuts with doubles in a few sizes 3 smallest tricams A bunch of draws and biners
nice hexes!!!

This was taken last year, minus my ABC nuts, and the .5 to 2 C4 I bought this summer. I like it simple!
C4's are the only way I would go, they work better than any other cam and are relatively light .

Did you mean?
You have to link to the image, not the whole page... :wink:
Edit, stoked to see another Lowe Ball lover here in NZ! Where in Kiwiland are you based (just out of curiosity)?

Thanks for that. :oops:
The Lowe Balls are awesome. Most the times I use them where a normal nut would suffice but they are good fun.
I'm based in Auckland(unfortunately). I mainly climb at mt eden quarry, out of convenience, so most of the cams are too large and haven't been used. The biggest i've used is a #2 friend.
I hope to migrate to the south is. once I finish my degree; or at least get down there to check out the seen.

Yeah, most of it was in one hit. I had to split my orders to get it through customs without paying tax. I ordered it from the US (saving at least 30% on local prices). I've had it for a month or two. All the small stuff has been used. Mainly the rocks, micros and zeros where I climb.
All thanks to my student loan :wink:

customs is rubbish. But one hit would be a LARGE sum of money!!! Student loans are an interesting thing....especially when you spend them on "school" and "educating yourself"
how do you like them there zeros???

Yes, I'm glad I didn't waste my loan on anything silly like that. :lol:
The zeros are great. I had a Z3 but it was too small for my liking. I tried placing it once then sold it. I haven't climbed with any other small cams so I don't know how these compare. I don't think it really matters. I'm sure I would like aliens if I had chosen them instead.

thanks for the response. You may not need those small cams when you have the ballnutz. Those things are great.

You can't embed pictures in the new RC format. I guess that kind of ruins a 'Rack Pictures' post.

Well. I don't have a pic handy just yet, but I guess that suits things pretty well now.
i just bought 7 cams, 13 carabiners, 2 sets of stoppers and a gear sling for $140
it is oficial. I am a gear whore.
(Cams I had other sizes in. I have a set of stoppers already. Although I was i the market for another) I just ouldnt pass it up. I figure that some extra cams are always nice now that I live within a few hours of the creek.
Now I am up to 22 cams. 3 sets of stoppers (BD, WC, DMM) 12 quickdraws, 10 'trad draws', set of hexes (which I still like) a few tri-cams and other assorted wankery.

I've been wanting to do this since I started ordering shit in Iraq. Unfortunately you have to click the link to see them because the no embeds... Here we go!
The rack in whole:
Protection, Draws and Hardware:
Ropes, Cordolettes, Longer Slings, Shoes and Harnesses. And some other stuff too.
Other stuff i have but not here....
Tricams #1 and #2
Right handed Ascender
More Shoes & Chalkbag
A 70m Rope
Crampons
and a few other things i am forgetting.
Now to just make it much less shiny.

Wooohoooo embeds!!!
I fixed my rack pics so if you aren't too lazy you'll see them in all their glory about 6 posts up... Scroll up and look. All of the gear is a bit less shiny after a weekend of aid climbing on it....

Did you put marking tape on your quicklinks?? 
Looks like you could use some trad draws.

Ok, finally got around to taking a photo.
So....here's what I got, minus several spool's worth of webbing, clothing, tents, bivi sacks, camping gear etc... and all the other semi related climbing gear which would take up twice the space.

Does marking pitons like that (tape on the side?) really work? It seems like it'd get scratched off the first time you pounded one in.

That's not tape to mark my pins, it's the price tag still on the ones I havn't placed yet. I got a screaming deal on iron a while back and bought more than I needed. Got 850 bucks worth of pins for 150.

Thanks, best thing about it is it's all stuff I actually use and not a bunch of crap I bought and leave in the closet.
Those offset looking cams are Bivos Banditos. They were a type of cam that came out sometime in the 80's. They're a pretty rare colectors item these days. Very crude construction but they work. An interesting design actually. If they were better made and came in smaller sizes, they would probably have the smallest head width of any cam on the market. They only have two cam lobes, so they can be made pretty narrow. I've never used them. I just liked the design.
The Valley Giants come in handy on occasion. I rarely ever have then when I want one though. I bught them for Excalibur if I ever get around to it.

Look at the entire thread, it's full of things people have said about the pictures. All I'm doing is responding to them as well. If it makes you happy, next time I'll raise my hand.

That only works if you have a url for your pic. Use the inline command for attachments:
[in_line learntodoitcorrectly.asshat]
"inline" is all one word. And the browser doesn't support images in .asshat format

this "rack" is almost all booty.
the met #2 I bootied, and it was bent sideways and the lobes were frozen all the way shut. a couple load bearing cables were broken on either side. I got it bent back, used pliers, WD-40, a lot of wiggling, and some bending to get the cams working normally. because of the suspect load bearing cables, I will only use this on easy aid, after bounce testing on the ground.
the hand crack piece is an old trango #7. it was this ugly when I got to it, but I took it out easily enough for crag cleaning. the trigger does not move the lobes, many of the load bearing cable strands are broken...
oddly enough, on the same route, in the same spot (New Yosemite, NRG) I got my own Trango #7 (single stem flex cam) stuck, but got it out after an hour of nut tooling - thus the trigger wire repair.
check out the draw on the right - chouinard biners, old mammut sling. the pink draw has an ancient smc oval on top - its completely symetrical, and no printed strength rating - thats bomber, its the torn, literally falling apart sling I'm worried about - I doubt it would hold a bounce test.
I actually bought the bong, and have used it the 6" way and the 3.5" way as a chock. its limited placement options led me to buy the (old) BD #5!!
only one or two of those biners I actually bought, the rest is booty, except the tied yellow sling and prussik loop - those I bought but are out of service.
the nut tool is my homemade beauty, made from a bike wrench (for a one piece crank) that I never used. it is super strong and about 2" longer than a BD nut tool

here's my real rack
my passive gear - frost nuts with long cables, tricams taped for faster placements, hexes I actually use (at least the bigger ones)
the cams. note the bike tube rubber band holding the biners in place.

Because I'm poor, got a good deal on some link cams that I don't really need (for bartering purposes), and want a cam for the wide stuff that I like to climb.

True, on my rack that I climb with trad I have 8, the rack picture is not complete at all, missing the shoe collection and a ton of other stuff.
 I went back and counted lockers, 27. All various types from auto lockers, to big pear shaped ones to ovals.
Gear to suit the mood or sometimes just to try out one or two.

So here I am at work, wishing I was climbing, and I stumble across this pic. I didn't check to see who posted it, but I was thinking, "hey that gear actually looks familiar!" Then I notice that I've climbed on that gear before. I honestly recognized the gear before I recognized the climber who owns it. That's pretty bad...

yep, its a bong piton. I got it to use as a giant chock, and have actually used it (without hammering) placed the 3.5" way and the 6" way. the narrow way is pretty stable in a good spot, but the wide way is pretty hard to find a spot that feels secure - thats why they were used with a hammer, and thats why big bros and big cams were invented, and why I finally got an old #5 BD cam.

Here's the list, no pic yet...
Active:
BD camalots:
(old style) 0.3, 0.4 and 4.5
(C4) .75, 1 (x2), 2, 3, 4
Metolius (old style) 7, 8, 9, 10
Aliens:
black, black/blue, blue, blue/green, green, yellow, grey, red (x2), gold, orange
Wild Country:
Zeros: Purple, Green, Grey, Blue
Forged Friends: 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4
Tech Friends: 5, 6
DMM: 1.75 (don't like it much, compared to the rest I've got...)
Passive:
Full set, Metolius curved nuts
Full set, Wild Country Rocks
Aid set, Metolius astro nuts
Full set (of 4), Wild Country Mini Rocks
Full set, Wild Country Superlight Rocks
Full set, Metolius Curved Hexes
#'s 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, BD hexes, older set, slung on cord and webbing.
Tri-cams: pink (#.5) x2, red (#1), brown (#1.5), blue (#2)
I've also got:
a handfull of pitions (maybe 8?) 4 cam hooks that don't get much use, and 2 hooks that get even less use.
A big wall hammer that sees more use around the house for loose nails than pins on walls, and slings and biners galore.
oh yeah, belay devices... An ATC, 2 reversos, and an ATC Guide (which I love!)
and 2 ropes, a 10.5 and 10.2. I'd like to get a ligher rope next time, perhaps 9.5 or so. And 70 meter instead of 60 next time as well.
I don't consider shoes as part of the rack, but I've got a pair of 5.10 anasazis, velcro which I don't use any more and a pair of Evolv Bandits that I use all the time and have since summer 05. Still holding in there, no need for resole, no need to be replaced. Those shoes kick the crap out of any other shoe I've ever even seen. They straight kill.
that's the hosh rack. Anyone want to donate? ;)
hosh.
[Please take note of the sig in my posts, it's pretty applicable here...]

No pic, since I hate being that guy with all of his gear spread out just for a picture. Maybe the next time I go aid climbing. Any way
1 set wild country zeros, Z3-Z6 (4)
3 #.75 camalots (3)
1 set BD camalots #1-4 (need to retrieve the 4, but its not going anywhere) (5)
1 set BD C4s #1-3 (3)
1 BD #5 C4 (1)
1 BD #.5 C4 (1)
1 BD #.3 Camalot (1)
1 WC #2.5 Forged Friend (1)
1 DMM #2.5 4-cam (old number system) (1)
2 DMM #3.5 4-cams (old number system) (2)
1 set Chouinard Slung Hexcentrics #2-11 (10)
1 Eiger #2 hexcentric (1)
1 set WC Rocks (circa 1985) #1-9 (9)
1 Camp Interalp #4 nut (1)
1 Camp Interalp #2 nut (1)
1 Blue Water #1(?) Scallop nut (1)
1 BD #12 Stopper (1)
1 BD #13 Stopper (1)
1 Camp #7 Tricam (1)
2 Chouinard Cliffhangers (circa 1985) (2)
2 BD #1 Angle Pitons (2)
3 Miscellaneous bashies (3)
So 22 cams, and 55 pieces in all, some of which I don't carry on a regular basis. My core rack is basically the zeros plus double Camalots in the hand sizes and the nuts. Wide gear if I think I might need it, but typically not.
I estimate the replacement cost to be around $2000, and the total weight, with racking biners to be about 20 pounds. Needless to say, I leave a lot of that behind unless I know I'm gonna need it.

a PS to the other gear whores out there:
I'm looking for Big-bros and am willing to trade the alien hybrids... Any interest?
Also, if anyone has a .5 camalot that's in good condition and is willing to trade it for the DMM cam, I'd be game. The DMM cam is in great condition, since I bought it on a whim and then realized that I'm just not a fan of DMM cams. I know that there's plenty of other people who like them, I'm just not one of them. Any one? Any one?

Hey climbinginchico, this whole time, I've been under the impression that you must have more gear than me. But I just compared your list to mine, I've got you beat by quite a bit! Looks like you're going to have to drop some more money! 
hosh.
ps, get the extra gear before the summer, when you'll get cut off forever!

What's the deal with Asher stealing the cam?
I'm still wondering how well the baby slobber lubricant will work on my #00 C3. Haven't tried to use it since Jtree.
Nice rack, bro. Those hybrids are SOO mine.

that pic of Asher stealing the hybrid is my favorite pic. He's got this bin of toys that used to have nuts and cams in. He actually likes to play with gear. Mommy put a stop to that though, she said "that's not cute." Yes it is, says I.

I found it awesome when he started to get fussy at Josh, and I handed him a C3 and all was well. That kid truly loves gear. Just like daddy, apparently.

glad to finally see another still-getting-there size rack.
Cute baby, I'm convinced that everyone likes cams. even if they don't know what they are. just like nobody can resist playing with one of those old plastic robot hands.

that was my first rack (tears welling up). now it gets used when friends or myself head to indian creek. and that wont happen very often now that i live down under.
the latest rack looks similar except all the cams are single stem BD plus a green, blue & yellow alien. two sets WC nuts.

My rack has grown alot since my last picture, it was cleaning and inspection time, and I figured I would post some updated pictures. I have been climbing less than a year, but my pile keeps growing. Enjoy!
Rack minus 3 C4's
Ropes and Harness minus Safe Tech

Why the screw gates on the hexes? Probobly not neccasary.
If you're planning on getting more kit, I would double up on nuts, using two companies that overlap (EG wild country and DMM)
Maybe one more 120 cm sling.
Then cams.

You've got a good start. I would work on completing a full set of cams.

Some recomendations Kane. Sell all except 15 of your sport draws, 10 of your trad draws (almost 60 of them, jesus!), all the tri cams bigger than blue, two of those sets of nuts except for a few doubles in the mid sizes, all of your slung hexes, two of your purple aliens, one of your belay devices, a few of those lockers and full gates, and a couple harnesses.
To buy:
tcu's or more aliens in more sizes, another #3 camalot, a .75 and .5 camalot, maybe some ball nuts, and a couple tanks of gas so you can go use it all.
Seriously you have a lot gear that most would deem useless and you can lighten your load immensley and increase closet space. Heck I'll even buy a blue tricam and one of those aliens off you for a good price!
PS. Loving all the old u-stem camalots. Can't believe you found those old things in such good condition.

Don't you think that 58 draws, of which 38 are sport draws, is a bit excessive??

Man,
Wow, I was typing how excessive it must be, when you posted. Yes, it is very excessive. Let me ask, will one ever need this many draws, aid, big walls, any reason at all.Nuts are super cheap protection, and it may be more hassle than its worth to sell them.
Enless I end up going overboard on cams, this is what I want.
Doubles in Camalots from Sizes 1-3, Alians for all the smaller sizes, and finally a set of zero's to cover the tiny placements. Would this be something to shoot for? Or is there a better way?
The purple aliens I found need to be sent to CCH, they have the dimple.
One reason I have alll the harnesses and ropes and draws is that I had hoped to get family and friends into climbing.
Saving for gas,
Some tool hit me in the side and totalled my truck a week ago. I get what your saying though. As soon as I graduate I am living at the cray.

Don't bother with the zeros smaller than say, yellow. Maybe the grey, but the green and purple are useless unless you're doing really small aid and even then, I don't know... Yes! to more camalots and Aliens. NO!!! to selling your hexes, unless it's to get more cams. And the bigger Tri-cams, um, if you like them, then you like them. Tri-cams are pretty useful, and if worse comes to worse, I'd be quicker to bail off a Tri-cam than I would be to bail off a cam (and I've done that before...). You'll NEVER need that many draws. EVER. Even if you're supplying ALL the draws for a climbing party of 6. I'd get rid of all the sport draws, trad draws *can* be used to clip bolts, but I hear they don't like it much. And Sport draws are NOT extendable. If you're paying full price for your gear (most people do...), then I'd say look into the Metolius ultra lights or Wild Country Forged Friends or Tech Friends. Cheaper than Camalots and just about as good. Less range, but so what? I would also NOT suggest you get Max cams or any of the other "extended range" cams until you've got a solid rack. Those cams are nice, but are kinda speciality peices rather than staples. Mountain Gear has TCU's and Power cams on sale, if you don't mind getting the older models, and micro-camalots if you're ok with skipping the Aliens in the interest of price. The micro-camalots aren't that bad and Aliens don't offer much more (except for flexability, which can turn out to be either nothing special or the difference between a bomber placement or a pile of choss). I've got the .3 micro camalot and actually find myself using it more than the green alien (equilvalent size). Keep all the nuts, a little bit excessive? Yes. You'll be happy to have so many if you have to leave them as bail peices? Totally. But other than that, looks like you're a gear whore in training! Way to go! (Seinior in Highschool? good start!)
hosh.

It's a start. The rope and draws have a full one day's use in them. I won the cam and coredelette and they haven't seen any use yet. They should become progressively less lonely as the year goes on and I start to decide what trad gear I want/need. And maybe a new camera... those shoes still have more yellow than that.

Senior in Highschool for about 3 more months! Man there is something about gear that I love, and I know that others have that same feeling. I always, like to try out new biners, and cams, first hand. At least having all those draws, I found that the Omega Pacific JC Wire Gate is the easiest clipping biner I have seen. The 18cm draws twist too much, so now I know what I like is what I am saying.
I will remember all of the above! Its cool to finally be a Gear Whore! Or at least a peon for now.

What the heck, here ya go.
And no I not going to lay it all out on the floor all pretty like, my wife would have me committed
In the red pack is a 1/2" x 60m static rope and a bunch of steel biners, pulleys, helmet, full body harness and rescue shit.
In the blue Wild Things pack is my trad harness, a 10.2 x 60m Beal rope, shoes, chest harness and rain gear. This pack goes everywhere I do.
The blue and black pack has a 11. x 50m New England rope, two spare harnesses, and 2 more pairs of shoes.
The black pack holds a 10.5 x 60m Mammut.
Half of my trad rack (center) goes on to my aid rack (left) when I go out and play gumby aider. Not in this pic that I just got in a couple of days ago is a pair of Yates wall ladders.

It's called consumerism, and unfortunatley is known to be the only "American Way" left in our society. Kane, hopefully you'll realize that it's not about how much gear you own, it's how often you use it. Don't go over board on stuff you don't need (only want), go climb often.

Honestly,
Sadly enough, buying gear is the closest that I can get too climbing right now. I know, I already have way too much for myself, personally.

well stop buying draws a month ago and start buying more cams! I'd say you need more trad gear than sport draws at this point. NO MORE DRAWS, you hear? :)

Seriously! If trad is where it's at for you, sell all but 15 of the sport draws and use the money for some new cams.
Why the heck did you buy 58 sport draws? You can clip entire bolted multi-pitch routes with that many draws. Heck, you need a chest harness just to rack them all!

Yes, Stephane Pennequin of the 'Nut Museum' is a very nice guy, a photographer and climber who lives on the island of Corsica off the coast of France. He has been at it for decades and has one of the best - and best researched and documented - collections of gear and prototypes on earth. He works tirelessly at this and has established good relationships with most of the gear designers over the years and many, many of them have donated very rare gear and prototypes. Stephane is also working on a permanent home for the collection. My guess it will likely end up with the Brits, and while that remains to be seen, he'll make sure it finds a good home when the time comes.
I'm just one of many folks here who have donated gear and also monitor ebay in the States for occasional gems. Stephane - along with Ken Yager (Yosemite Climbing Museum), Marty Karabin (US-based collector), Dr. Gary Storrick (Descenders and Ascenders) - are all due our thanks for their dedication in preserving and documenting our collective heritage. Technically these may be private collections for now, but much, much history would be lost were it not for their efforts. Also, their wives and kids are due our thanks as well, as this does take time and funds, and none of these families are rich or particularly well-off. I don't have the dedication for this sort of work, but I sure am glad someone does, for all our sake.
Thanks guys!!!

This is probably as good a place as any to say I've been trying to assemble a couple of sets of HB Alloy (aluminum) Offset Nuts a piece at a time and am looking to buy individual nuts, entire sets, and / or am looking to trrade #7's, #10's, or #11's in exchange for #8's and #9's. PM me if interested in any of the above.

I noticed that you put the phone in the trad rack and the aid rack. Is that piece that versitile? I've been thinking about getting a few of those, maybe not a whole set, but at least black through silver...

Should we start with the fact that you said "there" when you really intended to use "their"?
Couldn't resist...
So what did you get?
And the France comment? There's a lot of sport climbing in France, so you'll finally be able to use all those draws...

thats F%$#ing awesome. although 10 bucks says that you buy some piece of climbing gear within the next couple of weeks. it what gear whores do...we buy and buy and buy until we think that we have all the gear we will ever need--but then BAM! you see that one piece of gear and you just cant resist yourself. You walk over to it pick it up and think to yourself now this is one fine piece of climbing gear, i know i dont need it, but i am a gear whore and i know i will be able to use it somehow. so you buy it and then it repeats again and again and again.

Sure it cost alot,
Hell a single cam costs alot. I just went for it though, and once I did the math, buying alot at one time, like this, is going to put me far ahead in the long run, and its more than I thought I would ever have.Anyways, the zeros and three camlots came in yesterday. I WANT TO SELL OR TRADE ONE SILVER ZERO. I HAVE NO USE FOR TWO. Ideally, I would trade it for another larger size. Send me a pm if you have an offer, there NWT and Longstem.

Hate to tell you this Kane but first generation camalots (the four in the back row with the double stem and thin lobes) are considered by many to be un-safe to climb on as the thin lobes have a higher chance of tracking out of soft or breakable rock (due to increased pressure causing rock failure) and can develop structural cracks (they are made out of diffrent aluminum then later camalots).

My first fall was on a U-stem, but yea I caught wind of this in another thread. I havent bought anymore since those, but hey thats one more reason to get newer camalots!I am not worried to use them though, and will only place them if I really need them.

Just my cams, nuts, most of my hooks and pile of pulleys:
I'm kinda concerned, I can't find my second purple TCU, not sure where it's hiding.
I've decided to stop buying more cams now. Who needs 3 black aliens AND a blue black offset AND two grey TCU's? In all fairness to myself one black alien was booty, another was part of a lot on ebay.
I've also got:
2 haul bags
2 portaledges
8 pairs of active shoes
20 odd pins
bolting gear
debolting gear
5 harnesses
etc.

well good that you bought cams and didn't move to france. The joke is funny (not anymore) because, see, the french seems to clip bolts at a greater rate than any nationality on the planet. They clip more bolts than ironworkers, not that the previous statement makes any sense.
sex change.
more drunk capades, eh jeff???

k, i told anykineiceclimb i would do this ages ago, and this here is a shoddy attempt, but here is my ice gear.
what's there, as it's hard to see.
Trango mantis, my handle
10 screws ( sold the BD's as they suck - IMO ) looking to get a 12cm 360 if anyone has one!!!
CM darts and DMM terminators (darts are great, heel spurs are a PITA most the time and awesome when i do use them)
cilogear 60L - i love that thing
gardening gloves - cotton with a rubber grip, these things are great and cheap, buy 2 pairs and toss 1 in your pack when they get wet.
Super alpinistas
screamers and other tat, spectre is out of picture
custom stuff
spring leash (i made it, haven't used it but i think it will be good)
new tool idea. will have a charlet pick, aluminum and carbon flat shaft, full urethane grip. I have a bit of work to do and hope i can swing one this year!
that's it. maybe i'll replace this picture with something pretty and laid out.

Definitely looking forward to spring. I need to check out some places besides Smith. Sadly this year is going to be tight for trips and such, freshly moved here about 5 months ago, and the wife is still in search of a job. Only one income really cuts into the free cash.
The bros have little use. The #5 was placed as a novelty once, and a couple times since I rather wanted it along, but it's just not the sort of thing you just keep in the pack. The green one was very useful as a third big piece to aid Planck's Roof as a less oozy variation on Mideast Crisis. But pretty much I wished I hadn't bought them.

Here are the pictures,
God it took forever to unrap those cams. They were individualy wrapped and taped in news paper. Anyways, this is it minus some alians, which are getting updated since the recall. Now that I think about it them bitches have been gone for like 20 days, I needa send them a email. Anyways, yea, guess I scored pretty good.
Oh yea, and those draws came with all that shit so hahaha. Whats the number now?

Glad to see you got some more draws... you can never have enough draws. How many are you up to now?
Never mind the naysayers: keep working on those triceps, and the fine art of where to extend your draws. A few more draws, and a reel of rope, and you'll be able to do Time Wave Zero in 1 pitch.

Lol, you have 100 draws?! I assume they are all sport draws. That's a crazy amount. Although, I would rather have too many than not enough, right now I have 10ish sport draws and 8 trad draws.

you need to donate some to the "brent_e is as much of a gear whore but not as rich as you society." Anyone who wants to make a donation feel free. My address is 3 tattered box lane under the noisy overpass. look for the pile of nylon and aluminum and you'll find me.

Making an alpine rack out of my mess of gear-whoredom...
If i were to make an alpine rack out of my horrid gearwhorish rack, how would you go about it. I've got:
BD cams .4-4 with doubles
WC Forged friends 2-4
Both link cams
Metolius TCUs....
A Set of BD nuts
A set of metolius nuts
a buttload of micronuts.
tricams .5-7
and a set of hexes.
I'm thinking of making my alpine rack be this:
Link cams
Forged Friends
my set of BD nuts
and the hexes.
I'll most likely be doing 5.3/5.4 routes in the grand tetons....
Thanks

Are you kidding? A few more cams and your set for HCR. I would double 1,2, and 3. After that, maybe some alians? Keep at it man, you got some nice shit.

Yeah, the doubles/aliens will probably have to wait until the summer, but I am planning on getting that exact type of set when I get the money.

Dude, I think you might be the only person who can't spell ALIENS properly! Set your priorities... get rid of the draws, learn how to spell, then think about getting more aliens. I'd also consider replacing those crappy old U-stem camalots you got- they're just waiting to die. I think you're also the only moron who keeps buying draws when he has enough already to clip an entire sport crag!

Little boy, your insults are of a third grade level. As is your spelling. Calling me a "retard" and not being intelligent enough to use the "Check Spelling" button... Who's the retard?
Did you check the axle holes on the U-stem camalots? They are exceedingly prone to cracking. But I'm sure you did plenty of research while buying your 100 draws. Cause I hear there's a ton of sport climbing in Louisiana, in addition to all the trad climbing there.

Yes I have checked them
You don't seem to be grasping the concept. Clear and simple for you, I DONT CARE ABOUT THAT SIMPLE SPELLING BULLSHIT ON THESE FORUMS. You are maybe in the .5% percentile that does. Now that I know it gets under your ghostly white colored skin, I am only wanting to give even less of a shit.
Due to my location I don't get to climb much. In fact how does it feel to know that I have been to a crag maybe 8 times but I still climb as hard as you?
Your profile says your a christian,
and I don't wanna bring religion into this, but how can you begin to judge me by the number of draws I have?
Honestly, I don't think I should have even responded to your insult, as it really means nothing to me. Now we have contaminated this thread with worthless crap, congratulations.

I'm not going to get into a pissing match here, but you don't climb as hard as me, kid. Come talk to me when you lead all 17 pitches of a 10d trad route in a day, ok?
It's not my fault you can't spell. Proper spelling will get you farther in useful life than buying a ton used cams of unknown quality off ebay. Proof reading is a useful tool. Practice it occasionally.
And where did I judge you by the number of draws you have?

Little man with small nuts,
In case you did not notice, you have already started and participated in a pissing match. As far as leading those pitches, P.M. me your number? I' ll call you when I get the chance, and maybe I ll even let you clean my gear. I just realized your so right man, the word alien is compromising my understanding of the english language.
My cams? Would you like me to take pictures of all the lobes for you? They are all like new, btw. As a Senior in highschool that pays for ALL HIS GEAR, I can't afford brand new retail priced gear. You on the otherhand have help from that little shop you work in, prodeals are good, huh? Don't let the word pro trick you, because you will never be anykind of one, in anything,

Pardner,
Last time I checked,
having 2556 post doesn't make you a pro.
Maybe become a 3rd grade English teacher?

Wow... This post was supposed to be about gear and such, not a little spat between climbers... Kane, Chico, let it go man, let it go.
I'd bet Chico would be willing to pro-deal you some more draws if you ask nice... :)
Oh, and speaking about spelling, I noticed that I spelled the word "utilize" wrong in the line that you quoted me on. You might want to change that (I already went back and edited the post you took it from) before Chico spell checks that as well. And to Chico, sorry, my spelling sucks too. But my wife helps me with that.
hosh.

[IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b275/tennisplayer121/rack.jpg[/IMG] That rack is sweet. I almost wish my rack was still that simple. I have a hard time deciding which gear I want to bring on the trips I plan and never get to take. Props for having hexes, it's a dying art. Keep the dream alive!!! hosh.
Lol, thanks hosh... like I said, I definitely want more for my rack, but as a college student, I am basically broke 99% of the time. Mine won't be that simple hopefully in the future, this is just everything I could afford with what I have right now. As for the hexes... I really hope I can learn to use them well enough to "keep the dream alive" ;-)

Been to a crag 8 times, yet own 100+ quickdraws, 58+ cams, yep that sounds like a poser to me. Do you take all that with you when you go to the gym? Seriously man, I rarely ever say such a thing about people, but with that sort of record, your still a gumby. Buying alot of gear doesn't say a damn thing about what kind of climber you are. So please, get off of this forum, stop being a poser and become that which you are trying to be. Reality is doing, nothing more, nothing less, and you can have the most magnificient big wall rack in the world, but until you really put it to good use, it means nothing.
Wow, even I wasn't that vicious!

Ohhh.... Ouch! Man, does that make me a poser too? Between work and weather and family, I get to touch real rock (or even plastic for that matter) less than once a month. I've got thirty something cams, 2+ sets of nuts, a set (almost 2 sets) of hexes... Shots, I'm a poser! Sucks!
hosh.
doesn't the poser fetish conflict with actual rock climbing? hells yes.

Vegas, maybe having a 'virtual gear shop' will keep you out of the real thing. Y'know, wean you off the habit. Get a cute little checkout girl to ring you up each time and see if you can work out a deal.

We've got the peg board up. The cams are hung up, but we ran out of hooks :(.
I just have a very standard rack, but we have a ton of gear if you include what my husband had before he met me. Not quite as big as VTG's, but we're working on it.

No I don't. I just pose for pics doing the hard stuff. I don't really send the hard stuff... It's all for show.

Maybe I'll take a quick shot of my gear closet to show everything in situ. The closet already had ample hooks and an upper shelf. The standard rack is on a sling on one hook, slings are rigged and hung behind, and the gear I don't carry is on a third. Other hooks hold unused packs, helmets, webbing, etc. Packs and ropes go on the floor. It's not pretty, but it works.
Maybe I can build a little kiosk in front and buy a cheap register. Then it would just be a matter of getting my wife to play along. (No photos of that.)

I wish I had the money to have your problem ;-) Being a college student and not having a job that pays (I'm an RA, so I get free room/board, but I don't get cash in my pocket) really hinders the ability to buy gear.

Those OP rap rings are the shizzle!
I was wondering, has anyone tried them on a sport type loweroff anchor? I'm sure they're not as durable as steel, but they're rated to 25kn and they're pretty inexpensive.

Some of that crap belongs to her, too! We'll be married 7 years later this month, and we've been living together for better than 14. At this point, we share pretty well. I guess I'll count this as the benefit of having more space than we need. I'd be happier if this was on the first floor rather than the third.

dr_feelgood wrote: Making an alpine rack out of my mess of gear-whoredom... If i were to make an alpine rack out of my horrid gearwhorish rack, how would you go about it. I've got: BD cams .4-4 with doubles WC Forged friends 2-4 Both link cams Metolius TCUs.... A Set of BD nuts A set of metolius nuts a buttload of micronuts. tricams .5-7 and a set of hexes. I'm thinking of making my alpine rack be this: Link cams Forged Friends my set of BD nuts and the hexes. I'll most likely be doing 5.3/5.4 routes in the grand tetons.... Thanks
5.4 and under in the Tetons= solo.
Even for a crappy climber like me.
But in all seriousness, the approaches for a lot of Tetons routes are long if you're doing the route in a day (i.e. the Grand, Owen, Middle, etc). Baxter's Pinnacle is the shortest approach I've done up there and it's still a solid 40 minutes with a bit of bushwhacking if I recall. The Grand is at least 3 hours to the Lower Saddle (where a lot of the climbs start), more depending on the shape you're in. I'd cut the rack down.
I like the Link Cams for this stuff though. Depending on your comfort on runouts, 5.4 climbing in the Tetons is usually 4th class with 1-3 moves of 5.4 per pitch (in my experience). So run it mostly out, protect the trickier sections, continue running it out, set the belay. I'd take both link cams, 2-3 forged friends, and the nuts. Maybe the biggest hex. That's all. No need for a full set of friends with the link cams.....you're not going to sew up 5.4 routes up there....there's just no need.
And I reiterate, I'm a pretty shitty climber, so I'm not giving advice from on high or anything....

Sweet dude... I'm a shitty climber too, so this is helpful. I am thinking a nice alpine start (3:30 4ish... maybe 4:30 if i am still drunk from last night...) climbing by 7 ish... I'm thinking maybe just nuts, link cams, and friends 2,3, and 4... we'll see how it goes on a CO 14er... not that they are close,but it is technique...
and thanks for the response....

1 set BD Micros on a Neutrino
1.5 sets BD Stoppers on 3 Dovals
Camp Tricams 0.5x2, 1x2, 1.5x1, 2x1 on 3 Dovals
Metolius UL TCUs 00-2 on Superflies
BD C4s 0.4-3 (0.75x2) on Superflies
WC Forged Friends 3 and 4 on Superflies
WC Roxentrics 5-9 on 2 Dovals
10 24" 8mm Mammut/Superfly trad draws
5 Trango Superfly QDs
2 Screamers w/ Superfly lockers
2 48" 8mm Mammut sling with one Superfly each
5.5mm Tech Chord cordalette w/ Petzl Attache
WC webolette w/ Petzl Attache
Minitraxion on Locker, couple Taurus pistols, bail gear, gear sling, handful of extra Superflies and Dovals, Fifi Hook, etc.
This is all my pro. Don't take it all up all the time...typical rack includes the trad draws, 48" slings, chordalette, 1 set Stoppers, Tricams, Metolius TCUs 1 & 2, BD C4s 0.5-2, purple Roxentric...6 Lbs. 11 oz.
Harnesses, ropes, helmets, shoes, belay, aid gear, etc. not shown.
And for an end to a hard day of dirty South climbing:
Plans to double up on C4s 1 and 2, add another WC Forged Friend #3...then, I'll be done for now. Maybe some more TCUs for NC runout. Maybe a couple more Tricams. A #4 C4 would be nice...I need a chest harness...nevermind.

Not a thing, really. On a trip to Laurel Knob, recently, Rhett (weatherm) and myself had a great time hanging out with some grouse hunters around the campfire exchanging war stories and vulgar jokes. They had the firewood, we had the beer. Since we came unprepared for the cold, it turned out quite nice.

Well.... Remember that post about building a trad rack?
18yo and 15 hours a week does not make for quick acquisition.
Some of the gear is on it's way! Ok, scratch that... Most.... ok, ok, ALL of the gear is on the way! I've got this coming from classified ads on mountainproject/craigslist:
Blue Alien
Blue Metolius TCU
Green .75 camalot
Red #1 camalot
Yellow #2 camalot
Blue #3 camalot
with a biner for each
1-13 set of Omega Pacific Nuts
6 more Quicksilver 'draws
18 assorted 'biners from a craigslist ad...
3 tricams
1 almost full hex set with 3 #8s...
Poorly resized images of the cams sent to me by the seller:
also cam02-05 on that server.
And that will be it for this month... Going to use it as soon as I have the cams!
I'm low on biners, eep! If anyone could throw some cheap ones my way I'd be v. grateful. Mostly I need ones for those cams- I dont think he's sending me any.
And slings- I'm planning to go out tomorrow and pick up 20' of 1" webbing and just tie my own.... or steam the webbing from my school, hmm.Cheap, effective.
The nut tool somehow found its way under the rope, didn't notice until after the pic. *sigh*.

In the upper left hand corner that pile of slings makes up 12 Trad Draws and then I carry the 6 over the shoulder slings for cam extensions. This picture was for Yosemite, normally I will carry about 8 Trad Draws and 4 over the shoulder slings. But Yosemite can be long and wandering.

It's normally already sorted. I have a set of gear for an cragging rack that gets pared down for alpine. The rest lives on the aid rack.
I had to re-mark all of my gear, so ther eit is, drying on the table.

Gawd Fender...you're as bad as one of my climbing partners. He spray painted his gear on the tail gate of his truck. hahaha...there were little silhouettes of biners and cams all over the place. (he gummed up a few cams pretty good too.)
Caughtinside, the shop style peg board only works if you have the Indian Creek sized rack of cams.

Well this thread may have ground to a halt, but thanks to a few boxing day sales, the beauty of Xmas and a bit of a buying binge late last summer, I have a trad rack!
Now it's just a matter of saving up enough to actually get to where I can use the thing

Eh, not really. Sometimes I take the whole thing, sometimes I don't. 5 -10 minutes top to clip the whole deal to a sling.
Maybe it's just an OCD...
And the wife only allows the one closet for all my crap.

No, I got that rope (teal one in the coil) in March? Anyway, it's still in the coil, I have yet to use it. It's a 70m beal joker. It'll get used this season for sure.

Both gear slings are Chouinards. The bottom one, I think it is a Great Pacific Iron Works one, has only steel carabiners on it.
I just got the black ones, they're Stubai. I use them for Toproping. I have some routes I may be working this spring, and will use them as leaver biners to leave ropes in place to jug back up on. In the upper picture, the oldest Chouinard hexes I bought brand new in 1972, 35+ years ago and on occasional they still get lead rack duty (this is a toprope rack) -the orange sling #5 just got used on a first ascent last summer.

Note these 5 pictures do not include lots and lots and lots of other shit like ropes (7 near new full length, 1 real old and 5-10 40' or so pieces) or shoes (too many), ice axes, crampons, altimeters etc etc etc etc
Or aid rack, which has some real old beater pieces and some heavy stuff as well.

Holy shit! Ya gotta sell me one of those USHBA nut tools. Mine's worn down to a stub and finding a new one's like finding a climbing partner is an Amish town.

Ha ha! No, I'm a gear whore, it would most likely stop my heart to let any of those go:-)
BTW, just counted the Aliens, looks like 37. Thought I only had 21. I think the damn things are reproducing in the box, they got put away late last November when I came back from Red Rocks and they haven't seen daylight since. Pretty scary.
It seems unexplainable, but I can only chalk up all this gear accumulation to compensating for a small penis.
Want to see my aid rack? :-)

Ha ha ! I know! I don't even see some of them. It looks like I didn't get all my crap rounded up for the pic. No ice, snow or aid gear but lots of my regular stuff as well -like I have a Soloist and a Silent Partner...those kinds of things are down there somewhere. Must be floating around in my basement somewhere. My oldest nut tool isn't in there for sure, it has probably been used to clean out many pitches of cracks and is significantly worn down on the tip. It's that Chouinard Long Dong Lost arrow that had the notch in it that Chouinard was selling as use as a nut tool (or a Piton if needed) back in the 70's.
I bought those Ushba Titanium nut tools to give out as gifts. I've given out 2 already. Dave Harden was the best recipient so far as he had let me sleep at his house in Sonora, did some pitches in Yos with me and was an awesome and gracious host, so I owed him big, AND - pure coincidence he had just lost his nut tool and liked that this was so light.
BTW, I bet Majid would be proud of that kind of belay device redundancy while climbing!
Majid edit: I've marked almost all of my gear. Worrying about thieves is no reason not to own it.

You practically made yourself the biggest and the hottest target among the gear thieves in North America.

When these fuc*ers steal a 30 years old biner off some poor dude in Donbug Kansas, what do you think they do to you, your house, your car to claim their jackpot?

One more pic. Missing is a Eurotrash hammer I'd snapped the head off of (and used a rock there after, and a perfect Moljineer hammer lost somewhere in my house that is too good of condition (warranty sticker still on it) to use.
Not that the Salewa has a cracked handle, and I need to replace that handle.
Have a bunch of pins, hooks, beaks, Crack N' Ups, etc and other trash as well not in the pics.

uhh, possibly, but do I get to follow? :-) and how many whippers ya planning on taking on them Phillip?
I have 3 routes in mind for them, and the pro will be critical as they are my limits and I hate offwidth to squeeze climbing.
Course, I just got these last year, never had pro for that size before which may explain why I suck at it and dislike it.
So yeah, drag me out and lets do it !

You should be embarrassed about the picture quality, but you have a good start there. I am curious about the double gear sling... As far as what to do next, I'd pick up some longer slings to swap out with those dogbones when you're not sport climbing.

Ha ha Caughtinside, funny stuff: perhaps I must have some endearing qualities.....but don't know what.
Nah. I doubt that.
He just generally won't use my stuff. I'd gotten all of them tested at CCH and I still have second thoughts sometimes myself. He doesn't trust Camalots either. (I've learned not to trust new stuff from BD/Chouinard either as they put out some 1st gen trash- remer reverse locking carabiners, one almost cost me my life, they don't sell them anymore and a bunch of their formerly "great" new innovations like foambacks etc etc, but I love the 4th gen Camalots. )
In fact I'll say that he is pretty adamant about just bringing and exclusively using his rack when we do get out. But mostly recently, when I have gone out with JH, which isn't too much, I've been belaying and he's been working a new FA hard trad line that no one else had the cahones to even think of trying. I include myself in that statement, in fact I think I'm experiencing shrinkage now just thinking of it.
Some of his stuff on his rack he's modified and no one else has anything like it, so he's pretty elderly and set in his ways like that and wants it along. However, I have seen that it pays him dividends on occasion. Like the small Lowe Balls, he heated the plastic and squeezed it down so it takes up less physical space when you need to place them deep in a crack. For setting the thinner sizes in any fine or thin crack, and I've see him do this, it really makes a difference in that the protective plastic tubing won't interfere with the placement like it would otherwise. He's got some Crack N' Ups that he fixed up too, he put on fixed fine sweged wires so they carry on the rack such so they do not catch as he climbs, and he's got those thin Mammut ultra tape slings already permanently attached by thread so he doesn't monkey with them at all: and I've seen him use this stuff, on lead, on a new route.
So yeah, I buy brand new stuff and retire my old lead stuff (like all my 3rd gen Camalots got E-bayed), but he wants to use his rack and it's totally understandable to me.
Here, check this to see what I mean:
See how when that wire is clipped off so when it's on your rack, the thing won't hang up on projections and lil roofs as you climb? (Imagine 6 of them).
This particular route is deceptively steep although it doesn't look it. I called it 5.10+, and I'd just got back from Yosemite and been climbing that grade, JH thought 10-. Where JH is standing there is almost the 100' mark so if you boffed before the second piece was put in..... well, that would be a long ride. The 1st piece was that crack N up above. Ujahn took the pic when we went out to do it again, so this is the 2nd ascent Joseph led it both times.
Joseph had later put a bolt in for the first piece, but hadn't got consensus, a few folks got cranked- as you could detour from the route on the left and clip it, so he removed. I wish it was still there.
The crack and ups don't get pulled out and used much, but on new routes, which typically have thin cracks full of mud and dirt which might otherwise need a pin, they seem to work well.

I could be wrong, the 2nd piece might have been the crack and up. I'm only 53 but seem to forget stuff like this unless I write it down.
It was the first or the 2nd piece, and I wouldn't want to fall on it in either case.

yeah it was with a camera phone..... :/
i'm going to retake it soon with a real camera..
oh yeah bout that double gear sling [Black Diamond Zodiac], I've tried it both ways and i just like it how it distributes the weight better than just a single shoulder sling...
oh haa yeah i'm actually in the process of switching out the dogbones right now... lol

I have a partner who still has a couple sets of the old yellow jumars. A couple of them even predate the biner hole on the bottom... you know the original ones you had to sling yourself, eh.

Finally got a picture of my rack. I didn't get a few things in the picture. Full set of Hexs, 60M rope, 30M rope, shoes, helmet, and harness.
Ok, So what am I missing? I just need more gear. Recently fell in love with Helium biners. I want more. I don't find myself wanting more of anything but quickdraws. I tend to just use my trad draws if I need to.

More draws for starters. If you're going to spend the money on ultra-light, snag free biners you may as well get thin runners to go with them. hell, even for normal biners. Toss in some extra lockers too.
Before that I'd probably get more small cams though. I'd sell the 5 and 6 to pay for it if I had to, but that's me.

i'm guessing you climb at Indian Creek and Red Rocks by the number of doubles you have in the #1,2, & 3
PS: is that a #5 Rock Empire Durango cam i see?? how did that end up in there?

Yeah, this rack needs to be drug behind a truck on the way to the crag. Sure is pretty though.

if you ever decide that your pack weighs too much with all the gear in it i'd gladly take a load off.

Yup, that's an IC rack. Lots of those sizes, and even more .75.
12 to 14 each of .75, 1, and 2. I think we had around 8 to 10 of everything else smaller than a 4 Camalot and bigger than a green Alien.
What I didn't have was the guns to send anything particularly hard that trip. Oh well. Next time.

Here's my new rack (the draws are scavenged from my "old" rack):
Cost: ~$50
Weight: bugger all
....
Still needed: a set of much MUCH bigger balls!

That's a compilation rack, like he said. Made of several people's smaller racks.
During my last visit to the creek, we had 134 cams, and yet we still lacked in .4 camalot size.
I counted it up today, I've got 30 cams on my personal rack, and its still growing. I've also got nuts, hexes, and a big fuckin' tricam, so its not exactly small.

I think many Elbi climbers might take offense to his or her Rißspatel being called a chop stick.

That's not a rack. That's a set of runners.

Metal protection is usually loud, especially hexes. But due to the soft sandstone in some areas of Germany, it's not permitted. See this link for more information:

"Rack" is a very relative term I've seen gritstone climbers with a handful of nuts and a cam or two as their "rack", and on the sandstone over here (SE Germany/Czech republic), a bunch of knotted cord and a few slings is all you're going to see.
I know of the Knot protected climbing in Germany. Yes that was a very bad pun.
I've experimented with knotted slings and cord years ago... some of those tricks have got me down from Alpine climbs in fact.
I do think most of us can agree that British gritstone climbers aren't right in the head.
Mind you very few if any of the Britsh climbers I've roped up with were right in the head (wonder what they've said about me, same thing likely).

Exactly. And a few of those are Cory's. Thanks Core!
In fact, outside of the Creek, I carry a small rack out of choice. Typically 7-8 cams; some hexes if I want to double up; two biners worth of nuts; and tricams if I'm in the Gunks.

This is the start to my rack. I do not how much I will be able to update it in the near future seeing as I am about to head off the college, but I figure that it is a decent start.

Nice '70s vintage Chouinard passive gear. The steel cables on the small ones are probably getting close to sketchy (if they're original). The slung stuff obviously is fine if the cordelette is recent vintage. How do you like racking multiple cams on the same biner?

I usually clip my cams with a draw anyways so its not a big deal sharing a biner.

Since when did every rope, harness, shoe, belay device, and waterbottle become part of a "rack"?
Rack = Protection
It's not part of the rack just because you bought it at REI.

Normally people with smaller racks compensate by putting anything they associate with climbing in the pic.

I've added a double set of c4's since then... and some draws, some shoes, a few water bottles, a tent, a new car, some shelves, a desk, two midgets and a circus clown.

But not too lazy to type what you have in a thread labeled "Rack PICTURES"! Yeah, you're lazy alright.

Besides the awkwardness, grunting, scraping, and the fact you need to own and drag around big gear? I don't, other than that I love it.

You pretty much just listed all the reasons I like offwidths! LOL I don't know why really I guess the first time I tried one it was really hard and that pissed me off (it was a 5.6 and I thought it should have been easy) I have always loved grunt climbing from that day on. lol

This isn't my full rack, just the stuff I took to solo Spaceshot.
Add to it 5 hybrid aliens, 4 WC zeros, my 2 alpine ropes, and assorted extra biners / ~10 pitons. Also 2 sets of DMM offset nuts (yay!)

no, the V1 DMM's only went for a batch or 10. Then the problem arose that the wires were too loose in the head so when you tried to push it out they just went straight through.
In fact, you can tell if they are V1 by holding them verticle, nut end up, and wiggling. if the head slides down they're V1, if not then they have the tighter wire holes and are V2.
:) nerd alert!!!

Interesting. Mine did that when they were new. After some use they don't slide as easy, but it can still be a problem when trying to get it out of a tight spot. I didn't run right out and buy them when they came out so I'd assume they're V2.
Never had a probem with my DMM Peenuts or BD stoppers. Not sure why they had such problems with the offsets. Assuming I have V2 I'd say they still haven't really fixed the issue.

They just made the holes a little too big, to reduce that angle and therefore the wear or something. made 'em smaller now they don't slide at all.

What I think is really bitchin' is the Gear Rooms some people have. Its one thing to have a butt load of SLCD's, but when you have a full alpine kit, parkas, 4 season tents, portaledges, 8mil, 9mil, 10mil, 10.7mil ropes, ice axes, crampons, skis, plastic boots, and more guidebooks than the local climbing shop, you may just be in need of a 12 step program :D

My rack! just finished it.
CCH alien 3/8ths
Metolius TCUs blue - red
BD Camalot C4s .4 - 2
OP yellow Link Cam
WC 3.5 tech. friend
BD stoppers 4-13
I have yet to get all the software - slings and such, but I think this should be a rock solid rack for single pitch trad, and easy multipitch where too much pro is not needed.
edited - can't get the image to show up in-post. oh well.

Never mind, I just realized neither of you actually bothered to click on the link.....
Only the short description wasn't updated. The actual help entry is more or less accurate/up-to-date.

Ok you caught me, I didn't so much as attempt to look at whatever rob was looking at. Let me rephrase:
It sounds like rob found a page that hasn't been updated since when you couldn't embed images.

" Amused, rob.calm !?!? that's new... It's not new at all.... (I have no idea what robdotcalm found) Your tip was correctThe help section wasn't revised since back when they banzed embedded images. What??? Where are you guys coming up with this?
Here's where:
Start at Home
In Search Drop Down List, select "Help"
in the For Box enter "inline"
It'll get you there.
Still amused, r.c

You really need a #3 big bro, otherwise there will be a gap in your protectable range, at a really shitty size too.

climbingtrash wrote: NoCarsGo wrote: [IMG]http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/3073/imga0005yi6.jpg[/IMG] That's a good start. I'd start adding smaller cams (0.5 and 0 friends and TCU's) before I'd focus on the big stuff...but it just depends on what your climbing.
yeah when i was just starting out buying gear i had no idea what to get first.. i had a full set of nuts and hexs (to #11).. so i bought a 4" cam. hahah i figured it would be better to increase the range of my whole rack as opposed to doubling up on the usefull sizes.
i can't really say that strategy works unless you start out on really short routes of varying sizes..
but it doesn't take time to double up your rack

Hah thanks. Good thing this photo isn't too high resolution, or you'd be pretty appalled about the scratches on everything else. That #9 rockcentric that I bootied off a route is pretty roughed up too.
A whole season on sandstone (the only thing I've climbed so far) isn't very forgiving on gear.

That's good, I was wondering about the single hex. Good for fighting off bears.

Or at least the paint on the gear.
Granite will jack your metal shit, sandstone will fuck up your slingage.

My wife took the camera so I found picks off the net, these are the exact pieces I got though.
Curved Hexes Set
#2 BD
#3 BD
#1 Link Cam
#2 Link Cam
I also have #2,4,5 Chouinard stoppers
I didn't bother posting draws/slings/cord/belay devices/etc. Maybe I will post a picture of my whole rack when my wifes gets home with the camera. My climbing partner has BD cams #1/4 and BD curved nuts set. Were slowly getting a rack together between the two of us, but it is a slow/expensive process. I think I will probably get another set of nuts next. If anyone has any advice for something we are missing I would love to hear it.

yeah you might want to consider getting more small gear..
maybe a few smaller cams and that set of nuts
i love placing the metolious curve nuts, but they do get stuck alot easier than the BD..
the Walnuts are nice too, IMO harder to place but easier to retrieve

Yeah, edit your post pronto, those catalog pics are defiling this thread. You'll be judged on presentation too. (arranging your rack in an artistic manner gets you high points)

And probably a few other things I forgot about since I'm still waiting for my stuff to get shipped down here so I can play when I redeploy. Oh yeah, anything denoted with a (*) means that I carry it only when I'm aiding or forsee aiding somewhere on a climb. If I'm not aiding, I take things from other gear loops and I balance my seat (and especially) and chest harness so I'm not climbing crooked.

Yeah, I probably should have specified that in my email. I don't necessarily climb with all of that but that's everything I own for now and usually I rack my cams on my right side. Depends where I climb. In SW Utah, I can get away with a set of Trango Flex Cams and the 2 full sets of TCUs. Back home in Virginia I can get away with A full set of Wild Country's and maybe a half set of the flex cams. Down here in Antarctica if I get around to climbing something reasonably safe, I probably wouldn't use cams at all...at least not the small ones. All my passive stuff, however, stays on my seat harness.

the ever expanding rack
about all I've been climbing recently is aid and offwidths!
26 cams including 3-6 WC Zeros, bunches of DMM, Trango, a few WC and Metolius, and a #5 BD
hexes
tricams (plus a filed pink)
3+ sets nuts - Frost, DMM offsets, Rock Empire
Micronuts, 1.5 sets + 1 set aluminum micros
pitons, sawed off Spectre
4 Hooks
homemade aid ladders - cushy and ultralight (I normally only use two)
odds and ends
Screamers (1 Yates, 3 DMM Ripstop
note the homemade nut tool (the darker longer one)
the other nut tool I've used as a piton on aid!
not pictured since it isn't really "rack"- Yates adjustable daisies, piles of webbing, rope, harness, helmet, shoes,.......
just counted my carabiners - about 110!! Yikes!
When will it ever end?

I just slung a bunch of similar hexes on some cord to save space. They used to make all kinds of crazy stackable nuts back in the day, maybe one day I'll get to add some to my collection.

Nicer? I don't get it. It's not like I told the guy to eat a dick or anything, I simply pointed out that the gear was mine which is why I cross-posted it.
I did cut my hair, my profile pic is an old picture though. I'm over the whole lycra thing.

the sawed off Spectre works great, I've only used it on aid as I don't climb ice, placed it once full length, almost got it stuck (good thing it was weak volcanic rock no one cares about!) then sawed it off. Then next placement it came out on the first funk, and the 3rd placement came out by hand after a few hammer taps!
Wish I could find more spots for it, so much more fun than micronuts and lost arrows.
After almost getting it stuck, I always clip an old biner through both the top hole and bottom hole - it can easily be overdriven, or the top hole can be levered in while cleaning!
Sawing it off how and why:

Right, I just never realized that stacked nuts with two different size nuts could double as individual, differently sized nuts.

I figured it was about time to take a photo of my rack just in case it's ever needed for insurance. While I have the file handy, I'll upload it too:
I'd like to add a BD C4 #6, but thats really the only thing I feel it is lacking (other than more doubles!).
edit: embedded image, rather than linking to it

Really should get a pic sometime.
Cams:
Full range from #0 BD micro-camalot through to pre-C4 #5 Camalot. Doubles in some ranges, mix of Metolius, BD, DMM, WC, and one RE.
Passive:
1.5 set nuts
Full set of customized brass offsets
#7 BD hex through Largest WC Hex
Tricams - 3 pinks (one old, one customized, one new), red, brown, blue
Various pins ranging from RURP's to 3.5" Bong. Includes Z's, KB's, LA's, Angles, Soft steel, customized pieces... think it's somewhere in the range of 35+ pins. Hooks.
Bolting gear.
3 helmets. 3 pairs of shoes. 6 ropes (45m 11mm static, 2 - 8.5mm half ropes, 9.8mm 60m single, 80m 9.4mm single, 85m 7mm tag line). 150+ biners (assorted).
8+ belay devices ranging from Edelrid eddy to stich plates.

Too many slings and aiders to list, same story with packs and boots.
And that's just in the one corner of the basement and doesn't include any gear left on "in progress" projects. Really should catalog everything.

Yep. I probably should have opened it out for the purposes of the photo.
It's not the best climbing knife I know, but it cuts the cheese for my wraps at lunch time just fine.

I loved looking at this thread and can now finally contribute.
I'm still learning to lead trad, so mostly my gear gets used for filling out the master rack and learning proper placement. I inherited all the passive pro from my dad, re-slung everything and it helped me save enough to purchase the set of BD cams (.5-6)
My favorite piece and the one that gets the most comments? The nut tool, machined from a shelf bracket:
What's next? Selling off the bigger cams (already did the #5 the #6 goes next) to purchase some smaller ones. Then slowly building up a collection of better 'biners (mmmnnnn Petzl Spirits.......)

Just sat down tonight to catalog all my gear. Figured it would be a good idea to know everything I have and its value in case I needed it for insurance. Took pictures too.
Some of it I "inherited", the largest chunk I got for half value from a buddy who was selling (about 900 worth), some I got as Christmas presents, and the rest I just picked up here and there so far. I want to add some more passive pro, I went kind of crazy with the cams. A set of useless hexes and some random nuts would round it out quite well for me (I tend to just grab for cams on every placement). I wouldn't mind a #5 and #6 BD but I don't really need them.
Weight is about 22lbs of gear.
The list is:
.3, .4, doubles of .5-4 BDs, #2 C3, CCH Aliens black to red, TCU's red to gray, BD nuts 1-13 with some random doubles, tri cams blue to pink, 13 sport draws, 7 trad draws, 2 double length trad draws, Grigri, Reverso 3, ATC, ATC Sport, 10 lockers, 4 24" slings, 1 12" sling, 12 ovals, 2 Ds, 4 extra asym D's, harness, Mocassyms, Miuras, gear sling, cordalette and a 60M rope and ascenders not pictured.

Ha! I've got more gear in my un-used miscelanious box than that.
At least all of it's not totally shiny.

haha good to see the most important part of any rack, I can't place anything without at least one Banana Nut-Bread Clif Bar and maybe one Strawberry Banana GU
As for water enhancements (Gatorade, etc..) I think they're all inferior to beer. An IPA to be specific

you won't see the new shiny stuff on my rack. Started climbing in the 1960's but was out of climbing for about 15 years because of a non climbing accident. have been doing some climbing again the last 2 years.
the stoppers are DMM, Chouinard and BD
hexes are Chouinard.
all corded ones have been recorded this year. Slings and draws are all new this year. about half of the biners are new in the last 2 years. This just shows my ttrad rack. I have more harnesses, helmets and ropes to use on our climbing wall in the barn.

I believe yodadave is referring to the black webbing that is making up the quickdraws.
and I don't believe those are tied. and to me, they look homemade.

They're homemade and the stitching pattern he used is the most efficient/strong you can use for this. These could very well break outside of the stitching.

I have been away for a few days and just found this discussion this morning. Before answering I took another picture of the stitching.
Yes, They are home sown. Data used for the stitch pattern was obtained from ON ROPE North American Vertical Rope Techniques New Revised Addition By Bruce Smith and Allen Padgett Page 239 and following. They are sown with #138 20 lb nylon thread. approximately 240 stitches in the pattern. Since I have experience in mechanical engineering, several years ago I built a hydraulic test pull device and used it to test some slings. I found that like the data published in ON ROPE my slings would usually break in the web before the stitching. I use an old singer commercial sewing machine. below is a close up of one of the slings.
I have confidence in climbing with these slings. I have used them for both recreation and for work as a millwright building grain elevator systems. Many times in commercial work the slings we need are not available unless custom made.
Flame away. and for your safety don't climb on any piece of equipment you don't trust. If you were climbing with me and wanted to use your protection instead of mine you wouldn't hurt my feelings... it is YOUR life at stake. climb safe.

A few more details on the stitching. I now stitch all slings with a 3 to 5 inch overlap. I prefer 5 for most use. % inches make it easier to get the required number of stitches in. I use 8 stitches/inch. I use a ball point needle so I don't cut the thread in the webbing. With this stitching I have never had the stitching fail before the webbing on any I have tested. I have tested some other stitch patterns where the stitching did fail before the web.

It wasn't taken as an insult. I question too when I see something that I'm not familiar with or is untested. Any weakness in equipment or our belayer could cost us our life. When I posted the pictures I expected someone to comment about them.
