5 to 10 things every climber should have

Interested to see what some people won't go to the crag without.

Glock.

Caffeine
Scotch
Toothbrush/Paste
Clean pair of socks
Headlamp
In that order.

Including climbing gear? Or aside from climbing gear?

Yeah sure if there is a particular piece of gear you like that isn't an obvious choice. And yeah a glock and booze are always the first thing I pack.

@DGG: Thanks! Hope you had fun on the E Side; I'm bummed that I moved away during a super mild winter but that's the way it goes.

Two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls.

I'm pretty sure they'll eat almost anything.

Lawn chair
