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.

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...

I didn't get an exact count, but did a quick once-over earlier today since I've been thinking about it since this thread popped up. Pretty sure I counted 56 on quickdraws, 41 on trad/alpine draws and 30+ on full and partial racks. So over 100 non-lockers, and if I had to guess somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-30 lockers... A better question would be how many pairs of shoes and how many harnesses do you have?

Probably a couple hundred. And, I might add, at least four times a year, I use almost all of them!

I've only parted with a couple pairs of totally worn out shoes..all the rest of them, including perfectly good ones that just won't fit right, are sitting in storage somewhere,,along with same amount of old non fitting harnesses too.
