Collin Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 Lets hear whats in your rack. What do you use the most of? What's your favorite pieces? Quote
tomtom Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 Big nuts. Feels great when I can squeeze them into a tight crack. Quote
catbirdseat Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 The rack I carry varies depending on what I am climbing and where. My single favorite piece is my yellow Alien. It is always there every time. I almost always have a single set of Smileys wired stoppers too, since they are so light. Quote

jkrueger Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 i like my new rack but it is a lot smaller than my old one Nice to hear that you're bucking the trend. Sometimes, less is more; in the long run, you will choose and place better gear, which will make you a more confident leader. Besides, having all that new shiny gear serves as a motivator to get you out there on the rock and scratch it up a bit. Quote

Coondog Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 hybrid/offset Aliens, 3 smallest. when nuts or cams won't sit, i've never really struggled to find somewhere to lock in a hybrid... http://www.backcountrygear.com/catalog/climbdetail.cfm/CCH1050 Quote
Billygoat Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 Wood wedges with perlon loops. White Oak of course... Quote
Dru Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 those who diss the hex miss its advantage as hammered pro in wide icy cracks. also the cowbell effect when slung on beckey's gear sling seems to draw the ladies every time! Quote
Farrgo Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 I agree, I take a whole set of rockcentrics (windchims) everytime, just so it seems like I have more gear than I actually do. (7 cams, set hexes, set stoppers) Quote
