the ever expanding rack
about all I've been climbing recently is aid and offwidths!
26 cams including 3-6 WC Zeros, bunches of DMM, Trango, a few WC and Metolius, and a #5 BD
hexes
tricams (plus a filed pink)
3+ sets nuts - Frost, DMM offsets, Rock Empire
Micronuts, 1.5 sets + 1 set aluminum micros
pitons, sawed off Spectre
4 Hooks
homemade aid ladders - cushy and ultralight (I normally only use two)
odds and ends
Screamers (1 Yates, 3 DMM Ripstop
note the homemade nut tool (the darker longer one)
the other nut tool I've used as a piton on aid!
not pictured since it isn't really "rack"- Yates adjustable daisies, piles of webbing, rope, harness, helmet, shoes,.......
just counted my carabiners - about 110!! Yikes!
When will it ever end?

How do you like that sawed off specter? Been thinking of doing that to mine for a little bit.
Cheers

I just slung a bunch of similar hexes on some cord to save space. They used to make all kinds of crazy stackable nuts back in the day, maybe one day I'll get to add some to my collection.

Nicer? I don't get it. It's not like I told the guy to eat a dick or anything, I simply pointed out that the gear was mine which is why I cross-posted it.
I did cut my hair, my profile pic is an old picture though. I'm over the whole lycra thing.

the sawed off Spectre works great, I've only used it on aid as I don't climb ice, placed it once full length, almost got it stuck (good thing it was weak volcanic rock no one cares about!) then sawed it off. Then next placement it came out on the first funk, and the 3rd placement came out by hand after a few hammer taps!
Wish I could find more spots for it, so much more fun than micronuts and lost arrows.
After almost getting it stuck, I always clip an old biner through both the top hole and bottom hole - it can easily be overdriven, or the top hole can be levered in while cleaning!
Sawing it off how and why:

Right, I just never realized that stacked nuts with two different size nuts could double as individual, differently sized nuts.

Looks more like a brick mason's hammer that you can get at Home depot to me.

....but I saw it somewhere being sold as a "caving hammer" option for a bolting kit.

I figured it was about time to take a photo of my rack just in case it's ever needed for insurance. While I have the file handy, I'll upload it too:
I'd like to add a BD C4 #6, but thats really the only thing I feel it is lacking (other than more doubles!).
edit: embedded image, rather than linking to it

Really should get a pic sometime.
Cams:
Full range from #0 BD micro-camalot through to pre-C4 #5 Camalot. Doubles in some ranges, mix of Metolius, BD, DMM, WC, and one RE.
Passive:
1.5 set nuts
Full set of customized brass offsets
#7 BD hex through Largest WC Hex
Tricams - 3 pinks (one old, one customized, one new), red, brown, blue
Various pins ranging from RURP's to 3.5" Bong. Includes Z's, KB's, LA's, Angles, Soft steel, customized pieces... think it's somewhere in the range of 35+ pins. Hooks.
Bolting gear.
3 helmets. 3 pairs of shoes. 6 ropes (45m 11mm static, 2 - 8.5mm half ropes, 9.8mm 60m single, 80m 9.4mm single, 85m 7mm tag line). 150+ biners (assorted).
8+ belay devices ranging from Edelrid eddy to stich plates.
1 Alpine axe, 1 set DDM Flys, 1 Set Grivel Taa-k-oons, 1 Set Grivel Racing Wings, BD Sabretooths, CM Grade 8's (Need repairs), Grivel G14's, 18+ Ice screws, Various other snow and Ice anchors.
Too many slings and aiders to list, same story with packs and boots.
And that's just in the one corner of the basement and doesn't include any gear left on "in progress" projects. Really should catalog everything.

Yep. I probably should have opened it out for the purposes of the photo.
It's not the best climbing knife I know, but it cuts the cheese for my wraps at lunch time just fine.

That is correct, I actually own and use that exact model.

I loved looking at this thread and can now finally contribute.
I'm still learning to lead trad, so mostly my gear gets used for filling out the master rack and learning proper placement. I inherited all the passive pro from my dad, re-slung everything and it helped me save enough to purchase the set of BD cams (.5-6)
My favorite piece and the one that gets the most comments? The nut tool, machined from a shelf bracket:
What's next? Selling off the bigger cams (already did the #5 the #6 goes next) to purchase some smaller ones. Then slowly building up a collection of better 'biners (mmmnnnn Petzl Spirits.......)
