That's a big rack for the City, it's not Indian Creek!

Just make sure when you say you have plenty of draws, you actually mean plenty of draws...

Here it my current rack: Metolius Master Cams 00-5 BD C4 Camalots .75-3 Metolius UL Curve Nuts 1-10 Metolius Astro Nuts 7,8 A coulple slings, plenty of draws etc.
I have climbed at COR a few times mostly 5.9 and 10as, and my rack is almost identical to yours side from a few tricams(you wont need those).
IMHO your rack is fine. You may want to invest in a few extendable draws, a few routes do wander.

Geez, Greg, only one 2" and one 3" piece? That ain't no Indian Creek rack...

I like a bit more overlap in the small range, say, tossin' in a .3, .4 and .5 camalot. Then, double up on the 1, 2, 3 and get a single 4 in case you get on some of the fun wider stuff.

That'll do it for most stuff and still be able to plug in an anchor. You can eyeball the size you need and leave the spare stuff on the ground.

this would all depend on the routes that you are looking to climb. Such classics as Electric Ave will require 2-3 00 and 0 masters. Terror in tiny town is a finger size eating machine. but if your just out to do sport and some trad then you are probably just fine, perhaps a few more in the small sizes 1-4 masters or .3-.75 bds. also plenty of draws would be something like 16 if you want to climb routes like red tail.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.

Trad Climbing
