Your image host doesn't like hotlinking very much :wink:
Looks like a very good start, but I am not sure if those 5 extra dogbones will do you much good without carabiners attached....

Vertcaltrip,
I see you canibalized the 4 draws fro racking biners for the cams.
I'd recomend getting more 24" runners and making "trad draws"

Yeah I didn't think it was necessary to include the rope, harness, shoes, helmet, etc. in the picture because that's a given.

Okay, had all my gear out from my vacation anyway, so I snapped a pic this afternoon:
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=76005
Missing from this photo is another 2 ropes and my ice climbing gear.
Also missing from this photo is my husbands gear which I draw upon when I need anything more than a single set of cams....now he has a big rack!!! I'll see if I can get a pic of our combined gear when he gets home.
Find this rack is a pretty standard go almost anywhere rack. While I did like using a triple set of cams while out at Devils Tower, I find that this rack is good for 95% of the routes I normally get on.

I've got two pairs that I use regularly, one for the gym and the others for outside. Why do you have six pairs?

Isn't it obvious? They're different colors. The pink ones go with my pink Lycra tights, the green ones go with my..

Because I have a weakness....and that weakness is that I can't resist buying climbing shoes on sale. They'll wear out eventually, and it often seems easier than a resole.
Out of the 6, there are two main pair I wear. Then one pair in the photo should probably get a resole. My old anasazi velcros should probably be quarentined but I keep them around for home bouldering wall/my feet hurt to much to wear my new ones. The other two I bought at the 5.10 outlet years ago (so cheap! so cheap!) but are a little more specialized.
I would have more but I actually gave a pair to Brent that I wasn't using, and I couldn't find my really big pair of climbing shoes (I can wear huge warm soxs in them in the winter).
My plan is to eventually own more sport specific shoes than dress shoes. I think I'm actually not too far off :D.

So looking through all these photo's. I love gear as much as the next guy, but some of this is just out of control. Even climbing a big wall with so much gear would be out of hand. The Indian Creek racks, I understand the need for 10 #1 cams. If your keeping a spare rack to support a second team of climbers with no rack. Otherwise, what do you need with so much gear? Seriously, you should share some of that gear with the less fortunate of this world. Some dirtbag kid or the local kids at Potreo in Mexico. It is your gear, and do what you want. Hearing tales of people sporting 150+ cams. Just think how cool it would have been to be starting out your trad life and having some crusty hardman drop a couple of cams or a set on nuts on you to start things out. Climbed with Fran Baker in Red Rocks, and he keeps two sets of nuts on his rack and when he gets a new set, he gives the old ones away to who ever. Just know you would quickly become some kids hero, and probably spawn a new trad climber through your generousity. Sermon over, Amen.
That said, everyone needs to keep buying too much gear. Keeps the prices down for all of us, so don't think hating on the whores. If I had the cash, I'd be a whore too.
edit: To clarify, I did not intend for this to criticize anyone for their giant-Jenna Jamison stye racks, although it reads like I did. Just wanted all to consider the nobleness of handing their unused gear down to those who could really use it.

^^^^dude, i don't know what you have in texas, but i need a big rack for all the crap i climb....for choss alpine to bomber granite...i climb trad, aid, solo aid and alpine.....solo aid, you need twice as much gear (in case you drop something)....and in squamish, some routes take special racks (though 90% of the time its the same basic rack)
big racks is one thing....big shiney racks is another :roll:
