yeah when i was just starting out buying gear i had no idea what to get first.. i had a full set of nuts and hexs (to #11).. so i bought a 4" cam. hahah i figured it would be better to increase the range of my whole rack as opposed to doubling up on the usefull sizes.
i can't really say that strategy works unless you start out on really short routes of varying sizes..
but it doesn't take time to double up your rack

Hah thanks. Good thing this photo isn't too high resolution, or you'd be pretty appalled about the scratches on everything else. That #9 rockcentric that I bootied off a route is pretty roughed up too.
A whole season on sandstone (the only thing I've climbed so far) isn't very forgiving on gear.

That's good, I was wondering about the single hex. Good for fighting off bears.

Or at least the paint on the gear.
Granite will jack your metal shit, sandstone will fuck up your slingage.

My wife took the camera so I found picks off the net, these are the exact pieces I got though.
Curved Hexes Set
#2 BD
#3 BD
#1 Link Cam
#2 Link Cam
I also have #2,4,5 Chouinard stoppers
I didn't bother posting draws/slings/cord/belay devices/etc. Maybe I will post a picture of my whole rack when my wifes gets home with the camera. My climbing partner has BD cams #1/4 and BD curved nuts set. Were slowly getting a rack together between the two of us, but it is a slow/expensive process. I think I will probably get another set of nuts next. If anyone has any advice for something we are missing I would love to hear it.

yeah you might want to consider getting more small gear..
maybe a few smaller cams and that set of nuts
i love placing the metolious curve nuts, but they do get stuck alot easier than the BD..
the Walnuts are nice too, IMO harder to place but easier to retrieve

Yeah, edit your post pronto, those catalog pics are defiling this thread. You'll be judged on presentation too. (arranging your rack in an artistic manner gets you high points)
Get on it, CHOP-CHOP!

He used the catalog photos cuz they're less shiny than his gear!
 OH SNAP!
Just kidding. :)

SEAT HARNESS
Waist/Leg/Belay Loop
- Daisy chain girth hitched with non-locker and a fifi at the end...non-locker (with fifi attached) is clipped into the daisy at its half-way mark to facilitate easy switching between different clip-in points...

Front Left Loop

- Full set of hexes

And probably a few other things I forgot about since I'm still waiting for my stuff to get shipped down here so I can play when I redeploy. Oh yeah, anything denoted with a (*) means that I carry it only when I'm aiding or forsee aiding somewhere on a climb. If I'm not aiding, I take things from other gear loops and I balance my seat (and especially) and chest harness so I'm not climbing crooked.

Yeah, I probably should have specified that in my email. I don't necessarily climb with all of that but that's everything I own for now and usually I rack my cams on my right side. Depends where I climb. In SW Utah, I can get away with a set of Trango Flex Cams and the 2 full sets of TCUs. Back home in Virginia I can get away with A full set of Wild Country's and maybe a half set of the flex cams. Down here in Antarctica if I get around to climbing something reasonably safe, I probably wouldn't use cams at all...at least not the small ones. All my passive stuff, however, stays on my seat harness.
