Nice work on the hippie emo-babble, dude. ;-)

In reply to: Those Dovals sure are sweet. If I were a rich man, I'd use 'em for everything.
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.

I suppose the music stand is for really wide stuff, must be made of Ti for it to be able to hold a fall.

happy climbing. you'll probably get some decent cash for that thing.

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! I drool just looking at the photo :D Cosmiccragsman
Cosmiccragsman gets extra points for a fully functional, still being used old school rack...

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.
