What's on your Rack??

Hexes drilled out with lightning holes for speed ascents and tricky blind tosses.
Peckers, for the big little cracks
Bycicle rim, tube, tire, pump for wide Crack pro.
Mental duct tape
A ice axe with dirt tips.
Warthogs are far better that bolts
Brushes, from toilet to baby bottle, knee pads, and lab goggles.
Valley giant with woodblocks zip tied to the lobes
Laminated copy of freedom of the hills, for safety.
63 sawed angles

Typical free rack.

Great for getting filthy

Sounds like you are judging the person based on something that is just a personal choice. If you want to rack them on separate biners, doesn't bother me. I'm happy either way, just prefer grouping them. What is "off putting about that?

Judging? I'm not evaluating your moral fiber, it's a racking system that is clunky and that I am not used to is all. Having climbed with gear racked that way, I can confidently state my own opinion on the matter. By all means, carry on, it's all a personal choice as you say.

I could give you more reasons I don't like the racking system but that would probably result in some stupid online point-by-point argument where we each just have our opinion and do the same thing anyway ;).

There's a thread for that. :)

No worries, just the wording "off putting" seemed a little off putting..

Sometimes I rack the wrong words. Mostly, I am too much a weenie to rack small cams like stoppers, I need those babies placed as quickly as possible so I can hurry up and take!

Also, Eli Poss, did you inherit your rack? That's a cobbled together kit if I ever saw one!

No, I just pieced together a lot of it on a budget, finding deals here on the sale forum. If you're referring to the cord slings, I got most of that for free from work. They were just going to throw away good sections of cord because they were too short to be of much use. Not too short to be a cam sling, though!

Resling it... 5 dollars a cam is well worth the loss of bulk and ease of use

Tricams. Double the pink

this is my ghetto tool holder. i use it for nut tools and my belay device.

Not when you're a broke ass college student. Pus I like the slings to be longer than the standard extendable sling that I would get from whoever reslung them.
