I moved to Denver in the beginning of the winter and I have been researching and learning about the area to start the season knowing what to do ...
I need help building a rack and I would like to know what would be a standard rack for Eldorado ...
Thanks in advance!

Looking down Half Dome

Nuts - BD Micro 3-6, Stoppers 4-13

Tri Cams - lowest 4

Cams - C3's or Zeros for small stuff, C4's .3-3

This is completely route dependent, but the contributors here have been good to suggest bringing gear out of the "standard"

Have a kick ass time

Post climb snack...<br /><br />If you were wondering, the guy is Strappo (could be my long lost brother according to one of my climbing partners), a famous British climber and madman. <br /><br />The photo was taken in the Yosemite Lodge parking lot in 1982. Russ Walling took the photo. Strappo provided the bread.....

For what it's worth, this is my standard rack for the SouthEast and much of North Carolina...word?

Here is my bivy on Land of Ra.  Great views!

You should have a heckuva good time with a rack like mine!

I am ready to get after it!

My standard eldo rack.. full set of nuts including some micro nuts. couple of micro cams (aliens or new BD etc), (2) yellow metolius or similar, orange metiolius or similar, (2) 0.5, (2) 0.75, (2) 1, and (2) 2, and maybe 3s if the route needs them. I used to carry tricams and hexes in eldo but have since eliminated them from my rack and prefer to bring cams instead. also something I really like to bring along in eldo is a screamer for those sketchy pitons. Depending on the route (grandmothers challenge etc) might need the 4 and 4.5.

Leo -- here's a related thread. Note that buying aliens is currently not recommended by most folks, due to some QC issues.
