| There's a fair amount of new stuff, yeah. Nice Christmas. Had most of it a year or two though. And as far as what made me decide to buy so much, *shrug* I may be a newer trad leader but it's gear I need and I can afford it. In the beginning I bought a bunch so that I could contribute to the rack rather than just wearing out someone else's gear. And no offense taken...you're absolutely right. I still use the board as a conversation piece, although I am thinking about taking it down. |  FLAG |

| This was about 6 years ago. Unfortunately I have way more crap now. If you count all the stuff that is not entirely climbing specific eg. sleeping bags, backpacks, tents etc... I have a 12' X 12' room piled to the ceiling.

| Shoes, that's more like it! There's a perfect shoe for every situation. Sometimes you fall in love with one kind, and you better get another pair before the heartbreak of discontinuation, or resole downtime. Like ropes, you really can't have too many. |  FLAG |

It's funny that there aren't more threads like this, filled with pictures of shiny, unused racks. Good luck ogling each other's toys, boys and girls. nice try at thread killing mr "I got 10 of EVERYTHING n00b n000b n00b" . lets all bow to the master traddy now. |  FLAG |

Between me and my husband I think we have at least 4 cams of each size, but over the years we've both been collecting (over 30 years of climbing between the two of us) we have a few different brands and certainly a few different generations of gear. |  FLAG |

I climbed for 10 years (starting at 16) on a rack that included a set of offset brassies, two sets of nuts, a couple of hexes and tricams, and a #1 and #2 camalot. Just about everything I did till 2000 went down with that rack. |  FLAG |

That's a collection,,,I think you got me out-cammed by about a total of 8,,but I've got at least 45 to 50 nuts and chocks if I count my old school hexcentrics on a rope. I can't fit the gear in a picture without backing up at least 20 ft. |  FLAG |

| I have triples from tips to big hands, with 4-5 a piece, tight hands to big hands, doubles in fists/big fists, and singles above that to tight squeeze chimney. I don't think I've ever laid it all out for a photo-op, but I've certainly put it all on a sling once. I couldn't leave the ground with it all. |  FLAG |
