RACK ENVY

my trad rack. nothing too special

Heavy on the passive stuff... nice!

trying to keep it old school for the most part. SLCDS are a good addition to any rack though.

What companies can be recommended to insure gear? Would be interested in opinions of those who have actually filed a claim. I have never had insurance on my rack but I'm starting to climb more now and lots of people recommend it.

I have renters insurance through USAA that was ~10$ per month on top of my auto policy. This will cover anything stolen from my house or car or lost in a fire etc up to 10k.

I made sure it would cover any of my climbing gear stolen from my car or a friends car before I subscribed to the policy.

Here's my response to you guys and gals with these huge racks. Especially you out west with 'no beginning and end of the season'.

Perfect timing! I just built a new pegboard system the other day.

'Basically a double rack with a few triples, so not the most cams, but lots of other fun stuff in there as well.'

So when I leave depressing Long Island you are ready to go climbing with me.? I'll be there asap!

I love it every time this thread comes back to life. thanks rob

Hey all you gear junkies,

For those of you who don't already know a new mountain equipment consignment shop opened a few months ago in Cottonwood Heights, UT near the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon

Come in to sell some of that gear weighing you down for your red point ascent or pick up a crucial offset hexagonal slider nut that you can't find anywhere else because they were never manufactured so you don't end up like this guy

How many millions of dollars worth of BD cams are just hanging there somewhere..waiting..?

LOL if i find them i will let you know

Spent a couple of hours putting up the pegboard to get the ice and rock gear up. Ice tools are hanging from a rafter out of site, but this is everything. I left two slots for the totem basics I just ordered.
It is creepy how much pleasure I took in putting this shit on the wall.

I think Dylan hit the nail on the head. From what part of evolution did we get this pride in hoarding shit appetite? Yes Jake, us climbers can argue, it's not frivolous it's for survival. But that's really just a lie we tell ourselves. It more aptly falls onto the "show off new stuff' of the what "people get into" category. But why? I've got hockey teammates who blow $$$ on skates, sticks, & new pads weekly. They'll buy the newest skate on the market and talk about how it's performance rates to their last ice skate... And I see the runner's who have the shoes, the compression gear, the fuel belt or running pack, and the kinesio tape or whatever the hell else they think they need, just to run. I play hockey, and run. But my shoes have holes in them, and my gear is all 10yrs old less my elbow pads and a stick to replace my broken one. But climbing... That's where I blow my extra money. Not sure why, but it does bring me sick pleasure.

I seem to have picked up a doubles rack over the winter. Extra C4#1/2 Totem Green, and now Totem Basic Blue and Grey Alien and looks like I'm x2 across the board now... get it!
