Oh well, I'm afraid you've got me beat hands down where style is concerned. All I could come up with was grouping same size cams consecutively. Not very sexy, but, oh well.

+1 for owning, and presumably using, 4 #3s, 4 #3-, and 1 #3+... blah.

Woo hoo, I'm up to +1!
But to your point, I'd actually much rather get on something requiring 6 #3s (top of Incredible Handcrack springs to mind) than something requiring half that number of #4s or 5s.
I've got big mitts, so #3 is cupped hands. But once you get into big 4s and small 5s it's chicken wings and all kinds of awfulness for me, without the security of being able to get a knee in.
Shudder...

I don't recall IHC taking a bunch of #3s.
I'm the opposite, hands are on the smaller side, but they seem to be wide. Somewhere around full 3s I get into a spot where it's just a little too small for a comfortable fist, but I have to do a fully-extended cup. If I can just sit on my feet (a la supercrack) it ain't no thing, but otherwise it's miserable.

Sorry, I meant Supercrack, not IHC.
For me, I get in the size you're talking about at big threes and tight fours. Mid-size fours are perfect fists for me.

When I have all of my gear in a pack it weighs about 80 pounds and cost in total was about $4000-$5000 I think. Not totally sure on that. Not all of my gear is pictured for that price though.

Or the fusions without any screws, pons, boots, or screamers.

The fusions just arrived a few days ago. The other gear was out in my car (being driven by my wife).

My kids crank 5.8 and 5.9 which isn't so bad for 8 and 9 year olds. They crush.

There are 3 new cams in there and a new set of nuts from Christmas time. Other than that everything gets used plenty, when the east coast isn't under the shittiest weather ever that is...

Is this the PTFTW or did I miss that?
I'm surprised most people don't have a first aid kit. I think that should be a mandatory item given our chosen super-kick-@$$-SPORT!!!!
I love having that kit and it's come in handy so many times. So far just little things but I know if something bigger happens I'm going to be able to handle it better than without.
I have a chance to get my WFR this month but it's going to be $550 and right now that's BIG BANK for me.
