texplorer Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 When not working on the rock my gear spends most of its time relaxing on the floor of my quad or vacationing in the trunk of my car. Only a few pieces have tried to commit suicide by jumping from the rack while on the rock. Luckily, most were only banged up. We here at the Duncan Home for Gear have had the difficulty of dealing with a few carabiner runaways but overall our success rate is high with many pieces of pro leading active (and passive) lives. If you know any gear that could use a good home please contact us. We hate to see pieces of good pro go bad. Our facilities may seem meager but we promise excellent accomadations in which they will share a spot on a wonderful metolious gear loop. As an added bonus we take weekly field trips to mountains and crags around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleblebleb Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I keep most of it on a pile on the living room floor, my wife doesn't like that very much. I occasionally stash everything in plastic bins in the closet but that never lasts long. Wish I had space for the peg-board-on-the-wall idea, I might have to improvise something around that sometime. I solved the bike and ski problem nicely though - check this out[/ur], the cosmetic irregulars aluminum wall racks are a great deal at $80 or $100.

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 It all stays in and around the packs in the corner by the closet in the front room. Fortunately, quickdraws take up precious little space. The ropes, for some reason, always get put on the shelving unit in the mud room in back of the house, along with the cooler and assorted other junk. Have a good day, now!

Mer Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 At my last place I had a stairway to the basement that wasn’t used (lead to another apartment ). I piled gear on the stairs and could walk down and pick out what I needed. The railing above it was a useful place to dry stuff too. It was a beautiful thing, my Pit of Gear. Now I have a wedge-shaped, under the stairs closet. To get to stuff in the back I have to swim over the pile in the front. Terrible. Soon I’m going implement the plastic tote box system, a different tote for each sport, and one for the multi-sport stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 my crampons were last seen on the living room coffeetable, about 10 feet from a huge pile of gear in various stages of dryness. Dining room table is currently a ski repair shop and kitchen floor is freshly waxed with all-conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fejas Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Every thing hangs from 16pennies pounded into the garage wall... ski gear, bike gear, and climbing gear... Of course there is only a small trail through it but fuck it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have found crack soothes creaky gates and leads to transcendence of the vile bolted routes such as the chossy multi-pitch routes on the backside at Smith. Hmmmmm.. . . .

iain Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 they should have been climbing last weekend but the north sister, being the fickle tramp she is, probably scared those little pansies straight over to the sunny tuff. hmm... avalanche-raked sufferfest in the couloir or over-bolted sunnyville...tough call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plexus Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 danielpatricksmith said: I store climbing gear in huge plastic containers I buy from Target. Same here, stored in bedroom closet, modified because there wasn't enough space inbetween the shelves. Nothing some 1x2s couldn't fix. Also our crampons are right next to the pile of bathroom towels in the closet. Sleeping pads and tents are behind the overhanging part of our bouldering wall (great storage).

gregm Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 i used some scrap 1/2 inch plywood to build a pidgeon hole shelf system that holds 16 copier paper boxes (4x4). oodles of copier paper boxes at work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Dr. Flash Amazing had a recent gear-storage epiphany, appropriate for those homeowners whose homes are equipped with basements (or "cellars" if you're the back east type). A 3'x3' trap door near your home's entry, opening onto a laundry-chute type of deal that gradually curves to horizontal at the basement floor, preferably emptying onto linoleum or some other slick surface so the exit to the chute doesn't get clogged up. Upon arriving home from your latest venture, simply open the trap door and chuck your gear down the chute. Out of sight, out of mind until you feel like dealing with it!

PullinFool Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 Thanks for all of the info - the pegboard idea sound good, and the tuppers for the ropes seems to be a good idea as well. Much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
