1 set of BD nuts
1 set of BD hexes
Camelots .5, .75, 1, 2, 3
10 24" runners
10 Petzl Spirit straight gate biners
10 Petzl Spirit bent gate biners
Handful of ovals for racking
1 cordellette
That rack worked great for several months. Now it is much bigger to account for a wider variety of routes. But I was able to get on a lot of stuff with that.

I started with the smallest 4 tricams
Quickly added a cheap set of smiley nuts
Eventually bought the four largest hexes off a friend who would rather use friends

....it took about two years to gather up my initial "Bits'a" rack.... you know, bits'a this and bit's a that.... during this time I used a friends rope and complete rack, while I scavenged pieces with extra cash I shouldn't have really spent....
....so after two years I had: Five draws, 4 oval biners, 4 bent gate biners, 2 locking biners, a set of BD wires, a #.75 Camalot, four 12" slings and two 24" slings.... oh yeah.... and a nut tool.... another year after that I bought my first rope.... OMG, that was the best day of my life to that day....

How much did your first rack cost you and how much more did you have to put into it once you got outside and started.

Half a dozen soft iron pitons. One of them was spatula-shaped. One of them was a vertical (eye in line with the blade, not at 90 degrees).
A Stubai hammer. I wish I still had that.
Four Eiger hex nuts slung on 1" webbing. very heavy those.
Eiger ovals.
120' of rope made by MSR. Much better than goldline, but you had to heat-treat it yourself in the washing machine.
A full-body harness from MSR that killed my nuts. And I don't mean the Eigers.
Really stiff Hanwag boots.

My first rack is currently my rack. C4's .4-4 and doubles on .5-3, a set of nuts, hotwires for racking, and 8 mammut slings. Its a bitchin' rack and can get me up most free climbs without much trouble.
