[drunkenhighball says "I don't have a trad rack. Will a big, thick crash-pad full of crap suffice? I'm talking like 5 pairs of shoes, 2 chalk pots, a half dozen brushes, 2 and 1/2 rolls of tape, six-pack of PBR (tallboys of course), 2 red bulls, sandwiches, 1 and 1/2 packs of smokes, and a quarter of chronic. "]
Sorry buddy, that ain't gonna fly. Girls like bling, and when it comes to climbing, it don't get much better than a glistening pile of shiny new camalots, (supplemented by some 1st or even 2nd generation camalots to prove you're not a noob.) Throw in some tricams, too, to show you're a complex guy.
Guys carrying mattresses 24/7 scream "I want sex," which, as has been mentioned, will startle your prey, and cause them to scurry. As they are to fish and racoons, the subtle shininess and noise-making qualities of a well-developed trad rack are quite appealing to a curious young lady, though not intimidating.
My advice-- drop the pads and start that rack off with a nice set of nuts.
