Rack Dreaming...

If you could ADD TO / UPGRADE your rack, and money wasn't a concern, what would you do? The unnecessary and exorbitant are welcome!

I would:
Throw out my #1 Powercam, maybe replace it with a Blue Totem Basic
Triple up the .5 C4 size with a Purple Totem
Triple up the #1 C4 size with a Red Totem
Triple up the #2 C4 size with something... maybe try a purple helium???
Double up the #3 C4 size with a #5 Dragon, wanted to try one, you guys like the Dragons in large size?
Peenuts and Alloy Offsets
Trade my Blue Tricam for a 2nd Pink one
Throw out my hexes, probably just going to do that in 3 years anyway, never use them anymore

And I'd buy a pair of the DMM Fly for ice.
And a Sterling Evolution Velocity that I don't even need in Purple or Turquoise because the pattern on those ropes are sick! Maybe get it as a 70m and convince myself that's why I "need" it
Fresh TC Pros for days.... okay that's all

I would like to add some more scratches to my rack. I'm in north east Texas and trad climbing is non existent here. I have to travel 4 hours to get to some decent rock, but I'm headed to Horseshoe Canyon Ranch Friday for some climbing.

If money wasn't a concern, I would buy one of everything. Then just leave what I don't like as booty for some dirtbag climber to get all excited about on MP.

More DMM biners, a few Aliens, a set of Nomics, perhaps?

Double up on my BD .3, .4, .5, .75. #1, #2, #3 C4's(color coded biners included, of course). Then double up on the TCU's and a #4. Then, a portaldege, haul bag and several more runners. I have singles of all, I just need to double/triple up on a few of the others. Fresh TC Pros and a partner to climb Half dome....that'll do it!

What, no wide?
Valley giants, 3 of each.
BD 5 & 6, x2
Offset X4, doubles.
And if this is a dream, how about a rope what weighs 30g/m, is sharp rock proof (edelrid made something like that, although it was an 11mm; i put >1,500 pitches on it, never a blemish in the sheath), and never gets stuck in cracks.
Hey, it's my dream!

I would swap all my hand-size and above pieces (BD .75 and above times 10 at least) to the new hyperlight BD camalots. Rack gets a tad heavy on 160' routes, but I'll keep regular C4s for finger pieces.

Swap all my BD screws to Petzl Lazers. Get a full rack of aluminum Lasers for alpine climbing.

Get another pair of Nomics, so I don't have to swap picks for mixed/ice. Maybe get a pair of BD Fusions for pure mixed.

Fresh Petzl Dart front pieces for days.

Edelrid FlyCatcher ropes for days.

100M Mammut Infinity for the Creek.

DMM biners for everything.

DPS skis.

Airbag.

Guys, don't let your dreams be dreams. Head to the ISO Free Gear Thread now.

My dreams aren't filled with gear. I got money but no self control. I dream of a personal trainer and a nutritionist that appear outta thin air every time I eat desert or skip a workout.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
