As soon as I opened my first gift I was wondering whether this would be a thread...

Freedom of the hills (yeah, I should have had it already)
3 BD D biners
60 CM sling
and here's the crazy part- I've only been leading (sport) for a few months now, and when at REI my parents were recommended:
#1, #2 Camalots,
BD stoppers...

Guess i'll go out and lead trad now..
haha jk, I'm probably use them for TR anchors til I lead trad (no bolting here!)

I find it amusing that your first pieces of trad gear are the three least useful stoppers... Gotta love climbing gifts from non-climbers! That's why I'm so specific about any climbing related gift...

I think its all about gifts for the thread after all its only the start of the rack and his girl friend at least did not get him a sweater (red white and green) xmass sweater. Wink

I didn't get much climbing gear for Christmas. I used some Christmas money to buy myself a Metolius crash pad. My girlfriend got me a really bright and small flashlight and one of those pocket knife/multi tool things. I also got a book that gave directions, camping info, and other useful info for 25 bouldering locations across the country. It didn't have anything in OR but I'm planning a road trip soon so hopefully I'll be able to use it. I also got a bunch of gift cards that I haven't used yet.

I'm starting the whole "which protection do I want to buy first" debate with myself. I want to practice placing gear on the ground so I get a better idea of what good placement is before I bug someone to help me learn to trad climb.

You must have been a naughty girl this year to get stuff like that. Either way you hurt Santa's feelings, so next year you'll get another ugly picture frame, a broken calculator, and he'll steal your Ipod while he's leaving the other crap.

I find it amusing that your first pieces of trad gear are the three least useful stoppers... Gotta love climbing gifts from non-climbers! That's why I'm so specific about any climbing related gift...

I've used the #3 a few times, but the #1 and #2 spell instant death ( or at the very least one hell of a whipper when you rip them out)

I think its all about gifts for the thread after all its only the start of the rack and his girl friend at least did not get him a sweater (red white and green) xmass sweater. Wink

I think they were a last minute gift, she is a climber, doesn't know much about trad. My main presents (box of holds) clinked like trad gear so I think she got me the 3 smallest sizes so I could buy the set (#4-#13) and have a whole set.... I know they might not be the most used, but they are my first pieces of trad gear. I was so sure that the holds were gear, turned out the bolts for the holds were what was clinking, I think she didn't want to see my hopes crushed when it wasn't trad gear, not that they would have been.... that much
