Doc, leave the Slinky at home for mixed. Depending on the conditions and type of route I'm going on here's what I use as a "mixed" rack in the rockies.

For routes I don't expect to need pro > 1.5"
1/2 set nuts
Tricams (typically modified pink, old, pink, new pink, red, brown, sometimes blue)
2KB's
2LA's (typically one of them being soft iron)
2 Angles (#1, #2) - Occasionally a short shallow angle

1-2 DMM Bulldog/BD Spectre (typically only one. I like the DMM better)
4 to 12 screws depending on length of Ice pitches

If I expect a need for pro >1.5" I'll supliment that with a mixture of Hexes and Cams, maybe a couple larger angles too.
