I've got something approaching 100, which is enough, so far.

45. I climb trad, sport, mountains. 8 lockers. Plenty for me....would be a staggering number if I counted all the bail biners I've no doubt donated to other folks' harnesses...

Lots/not enough.

I could use a few more yosemite draws... I have way more oval lockers than I know what to do with. (I seriously have like 20 oval lockers...)

Ok, from the responses here I'll feel no guilt at buying some more this week. That will be put me over 100. So. . . shiny. . .

200ish, but the only time I ever use more than 40 in one setting is during commercial rigging or wall climbing. On a wall, one can never have enough biners.

Only what I need and use. Anything beyond that is a waste.

Went from only having a a set of 10 draws to somehow a Tupperware bin full of them. Could probably equip several dozen routes. Course most of them are total mank/crap Ive cleaned off routes.

Also I have 2 locking biners. One for the grigri. The other for my easy-daisy( for developing ).

I'll bet that if you stick with it, before long you'll be changing your mind and selling off some of those "Manic purchased" suckers. Because YES, you CAN have too many! LOL!
hahahahaha... Keyrings, ATV tie-downs, skidding small trees, towing vehicles... like I said, the uses are endless for them. Once they get used for something else, they don't go back on the rack though, lol...

Well, I guess you could still use a couple hundred more then.

You're not there yet. But soon!

LOL!

OK, Hobo, then for you the question is: How many chalk bags, or pairs of climbing shoes do you have? Or how many maxi pads?
