But why are they all the same colour but different size? I thought forged freinds were colour coded, and they don't look old enough to predate that.

Because I'm poor, got a good deal on some link cams that I don't really need (for bartering purposes), and want a cam for the wide stuff that I like to climb.

You know, I have 7 lockers, most of which I still use. 11 doesn't seem like an excessive amount.

True, on my rack that I climb with trad I have 8, the rack picture is not complete at all, missing the shoe collection and a ton of other stuff.
 I went back and counted lockers, 27. All various types from auto lockers, to big pear shaped ones to ovals.
Gear to suit the mood or sometimes just to try out one or two.

I recount on your pictures, I counted 15 ...
When climbing, I use 5: 1 for belaying, 1 for my daisy, 3 for anchors.

So here I am at work, wishing I was climbing, and I stumble across this pic. I didn't check to see who posted it, but I was thinking, "hey that gear actually looks familiar!" Then I notice that I've climbed on that gear before. I honestly recognized the gear before I recognized the climber who owns it. That's pretty bad...
hosh.

And a whore I am... I intend to post a pic of my rack one of these days, but it's hard to get all that junk together for the picture...! Ok, it's not that much, but 35 cams or so, plus passive gear.
hosh.
