hmm... If I were a piece of climbing gear, I'd be a can of Red Bull and a bag of Beef Jerky. If that doesn't count for climbing gear (why the hell not?!) then I'd have to offer up climbing tape for my hands. I keep the same "tape gloves" for months.
I hope I can answer for my friends, too. My Buddy Russ would be a portaledge since he constantly finds his comfy spot when he's not climbing.

What climbing tool am I?
When trad leading it's best to be a BD #1 camalot - good for so many bomber placements.
When sport leading it's best to be a biner of nuts - cuz of the nuts.
When bouldering I wanna be a pink tricam - solidly holds onto small bits of rock.
On a roadtrip with buds I wanna be a WC flexifriend - cuz of the flexifriend part.
But at the end of the day, I'm just a climbing tool.

I'd be a rap line, always falling from the top of the crag to the bottom, instead of the other way around.

A harness. You know, that piece of equipment you pick out based upon comfort, durability, and reliability. Ropes break, nuts/tricams/hexes/'biners - they fracture, bad placement can break a cam. You have to really abuse your harness to wear it out. When you don't want it, you stuff it in a bag where it waits for your return. Assuming you've reached in, pulled it out and put it on, your harness is always there to break a fall when you've done something stupid or you're in over your head.

A ludicrously large cam, like the wooden 16" monster I made for the Leavittator. I'm so lazy these days, I want to aid up everything.

OK, I know this is bad, but I am going to say it anyway:
My friends think I,m a nut, which makes me feel like an alien. When I get knotted up trying to put a stopper to it, I call on my big Bro to keep me anchored. He can offset my friends with a hex causing them to taper a bit. Eventually I am hoping things will equalize and we can all be friends again.

Ooh, you guys are creative!
I wanted to call myself the little yellow alien... but I'm not sure why, so for now, I'll just mention that my brother,
ID: rockram, is DEFINATELY a HAUL BAG! He always offers to carry as much as he can, and never complains. I'll tell you what, he's the guy you want around when you've got a nice hike up the canyon back to camp!!!

The GriGri.
Some people say it's complicated, overrated, expensive, and generally unnecessary.
Some people love it.
And some people say both
Yep, that's me

"Whut the hell izzat for? It's funny lookin and ain't no use ta me!"
Checkmate!
