Hate to tell you this Kane but first generation camalots (the four in the back row with the double stem and thin lobes) are considered by many to be un-safe to climb on as the thin lobes have a higher chance of tracking out of soft or breakable rock (due to increased pressure causing rock failure) and can develop structural cracks (they are made out of diffrent aluminum then later camalots).

My first fall was on a U-stem, but yea I caught wind of this in another thread. I havent bought anymore since those, but hey thats one more reason to get newer camalots!I am not worried to use them though, and will only place them if I really need them.

Just my cams, nuts, most of my hooks and pile of pulleys:
I'm kinda concerned, I can't find my second purple TCU, not sure where it's hiding.
I've decided to stop buying more cams now. Who needs 3 black aliens AND a blue black offset AND two grey TCU's? In all fairness to myself one black alien was booty, another was part of a lot on ebay.
I've also got:
2 haul bags
2 portaledges
8 pairs of active shoes
20 odd pins
bolting gear
debolting gear 
5 harnesses
etc.

well good that you bought cams and didn't move to france. The joke is funny (not anymore) because, see, the french seems to clip bolts at a greater rate than any nationality on the planet. They clip more bolts than ironworkers, not that the previous statement makes any sense.
sex change.
more drunk capades, eh jeff???

k, i told anykineiceclimb i would do this ages ago, and this here is a shoddy attempt, but here is my ice gear.
what's there, as it's hard to see.
Trango mantis, my handle
10 screws ( sold the BD's as they suck - IMO ) looking to get a 12cm 360 if anyone has one!!!
CM darts and DMM terminators (darts are great, heel spurs are a PITA most the time and awesome when i do use them)
cilogear 60L - i love that thing
gardening gloves - cotton with a rubber grip, these things are great and cheap, buy 2 pairs and toss 1 in your pack when they get wet.
Super alpinistas
screamers and other tat, spectre is out of picture
custom stuff
spring leash (i made it, haven't used it but i think it will be good)
new tool idea. will have a charlet pick, aluminum and carbon flat shaft, full urethane grip. I have a bit of work to do and hope i can swing one this year!
that's it. maybe i'll replace this picture with something pretty and laid out.

Definitely looking forward to spring. I need to check out some places besides Smith. Sadly this year is going to be tight for trips and such, freshly moved here about 5 months ago, and the wife is still in search of a job. Only one income really cuts into the free cash.
The bros have little use. The #5 was placed as a novelty once, and a couple times since I rather wanted it along, but it's just not the sort of thing you just keep in the pack. The green one was very useful as a third big piece to aid Planck's Roof as a less oozy variation on Mideast Crisis. But pretty much I wished I hadn't bought them.

Here are the pictures,
God it took forever to unrap those cams. They were individualy wrapped and taped in news paper. Anyways, this is it minus some alians, which are getting updated since the recall. Now that I think about it them bitches have been gone for like 20 days, I needa send them a email. Anyways, yea, guess I scored pretty good.
Oh yea, and those draws came with all that shit so hahaha. Whats the number now?

Well, 35 of those cams came from that one big purchase, and so did everything else pictured, 20 of the cams I already had and are pictured.

Glad to see you got some more draws... you can never have enough draws. How many are you up to now?
Never mind the naysayers: keep working on those triceps, and the fine art of where to extend your draws. A few more draws, and a reel of rope, and you'll be able to do Time Wave Zero in 1 pitch.

Lol, you have 100 draws?! I assume they are all sport draws. That's a crazy amount. Although, I would rather have too many than not enough, right now I have 10ish sport draws and 8 trad draws.

you need to donate some to the "brent_e is as much of a gear whore but not as rich as you society." Anyone who wants to make a donation feel free. My address is 3 tattered box lane under the noisy overpass. look for the pile of nylon and aluminum and you'll find me.

Making an alpine rack out of my mess of gear-whoredom...
If i were to make an alpine rack out of my horrid gearwhorish rack, how would you go about it. I've got:
BD cams .4-4 with doubles
WC Forged friends 2-4
Both link cams
Metolius TCUs....
A Set of BD nuts
A set of metolius nuts
a buttload of micronuts.
tricams .5-7
and a set of hexes.
I'm thinking of making my alpine rack be this:
Link cams
Forged Friends
my set of BD nuts
and the hexes.
I'll most likely be doing 5.3/5.4 routes in the grand tetons....
Thanks

It's not very much at all, but it's at least a start.
I'm not including the rope/harness/shoes and what not.

Are you kidding? A few more cams and your set for HCR. I would double 1,2, and 3. After that, maybe some alians? Keep at it man, you got some nice shit.
