Tricams aren't a bad idea either, as their versatility will help cut down on needless extra gear. Funny note about the link cams, there was one jammed in at the top of p3 of after six as of apr 26, be interested to know if its still there. I didn't see anyone mention a copy of yose valley free climbs, as it tells you exacly what you'll need for the climbs you plan to do.

I had triples in the #2 and #1. Very useful if you do, for example Bishop's Terrace (5.awesome!). Also, it's nice to have more gear that protects pin scars. Think about picking up the DMM offsets while you're there.

they quit making the half-sizes with the C4 line, changed the lobe size just a tad, and added the 6. I think the new 4 pretty well covers the 3.5-4 size now...
