I'd be hard pressed to disagree. I somehow convinced my graduate program that it was a worthwhile expense. I've since bought about $2000 worth of toys.

Medicine, actually. My argument was that there are incredibly few paying jobs in wilderness medicine, so I need to do everything I can to beef up my climbing resume. I completely expected that they would laugh at me, but it's chump change next to some folks' research expenses, so I guess they figured it wasn't that big a deal.
Most of the stuff on my rack I already owned, but it's been nice to be able to pick out all sorts of "always wanted but never needed" sorts of things.

This is the product of nearly 10 years of painstaking collection, saving, scrimping (selling my TV and canceling cable), bootying, SteepAndCheaping, pro dealing, and general climbing bummery. Switching insurance carriers in 2 weeks and they want an itemized list for a separate rider. Took me nearly 2 hours to organize everything. Hope this earns me some style points :)

Total Cost:
If I knew, I would probably puke. Regardless, I need to know to submit this for insurance. ***If any climbing bum out there needs some cash***, I will Paypal you (or mail you a check for) $20 for creating an Excel spreadsheet of all my gear with current retail prices. It must be accurate and reflect any doubles. Message me for more info or to make arrangements.
Total Weight:
Ha.
The sad irony of all this: I live in NJ. Fucking NJ. Currently exploring options for moving to the PNW. Boulder/Denver is also an option.
EDIT: 1 Typo, 1 minor addition, 1 deletion

This is the picture I took at the start of the season for insurance before a few road trips. (F***ing tweekers breaking into cars for crack money *(+(_*U%$ . . .)
There have been a few additions since.
1) Hirundos harness
2) Another Bd #1
3) Largest 2 dmm peanuts
This does not include Ice alpine, or ski gear. Maybe once I do my Christmas buying this winter I'll take an inclusive "all my sh!t" picture.
Here's last summers picture, the rack is growing . . .
(Edit to fix Links)

That's a pretty good start. Hell, in some places that's about all you need.

I've bought so much crap since I posted way back when on this thread that I damn near could have funded a full retirement including some nubile young hookers in some 3rd world shithole.
Has anyone posted pics of their Totem cams yet or should I be the first?

The ones on the top left are my old sport draws. A few years ago I upgraded to the the petzl spirits. I use 3/4 of those for sport and the other 1/4 to supplement my extendable trad slings. The ones on the bottom right are part of my ice rack (wire gates).
